Software Overview

Advantech offers a rich set of DLL drivers, third-party driver support and application
software to help fully exploit the functions of your PCI-1756 card:
 DAQNavi software (on the companion DVD-ROM)
 LabView driver
 Advantech DAQ tools
Programming choices for DA&C cards
You may use Advantech application software such as Advantech DAQNavi software.
On the other hand, advanced users can use register level programming, although
this is not recommended due to its laborious and time-consuming nature.
DAQNavi Software
Advantech DAQNavi software includes device drivers and SDK which features a
complete I/O function library to help boost your application performance. This soft-
ware is included in the companion DVD-ROM at no extra charge and comes with all
Advantech DA&C cards. The Advantech DAQNavi software for Windows XP/Vista/7
works seamlessly with development tools such as Visual Studio .Net, Visual C++,
Visual Basic and Borland Delphi.
Register-level Programming
Register-level programming is available for experienced programmers who find it
necessary to write code directly at the level of the device register. Since register-level
programming requires much effort and time, we recommend that you use the Advan-
tech DAQNavi software instead. However, if register-level programming is indispens-
able, please contact the technical support team to request the relative information.
