Programming and Developing Applications
After following the installation instructions in Chapter 2, your board should now be installed and ready
for use. In general there may be no correspondence among registers for different boards. Software written
at the register level for other models will not function correctly with your board.
Programming languages
Measurement Computing’s Universal Library® provides access to board functions from a variety of
Windows programming languages. If you are planning to write programs, or would like to run the
example programs for Visual Basic
or any other language, please refer to the Universal Library User's
Guide (available on our web site at
.
Packaged applications programs
Many packaged application programs, such as SoftWIRE
, Labtech Notebook™, and HP-VEE™, now
have drivers for your board. If the package you own does not have drivers for the board, please fax or e-
mail the package name and the revision number from the install disks. We will research the package for
you and advise how to obtain drivers.
Some application drivers are included with the Universal Library package, but not with the application
package. If you have purchased an application package directly from the software vendor, you may need
to purchase our Universal Library and drivers. Please contact us by phone, fax or e-mail:
