5 C/C++ Libraries
This chapter describes the software libraries for operating this
card. Only functions in the DOS library and Windows 95 DLL are
described. Refer to the PCIS-DASK function reference manual,
which is included in the ADLINK CD, for descriptions of Windows
98/NT/2000/XP DLL functions.
The function prototypes and useful constants are defined in the
header files located in the LIB directory (DOS) and INCLUDE
directory (Windows 95). For the Windows 95 DLL, the developing
environment can be Visual Basic 4.0 or above, Visual C/C++ 4.0
or above, Borland C++ 5.0 or above, Borland Delphi 2.x (32-bit) or

Naming Convention
The functions of the NuDAQ PCI or NuIPC CompactPCI card soft-
ware drivers uses full-names to represent the functions' real
meaning. The naming convention rules are:
In a DOS Environment:
_{hardware_model}_{action_name}.
e.g.
_7250_Initial().
All functions in the PCI-7250 driver start with 7250 as
{hardware_model}. All functions in cPCI-7252 driver start with
7252 as {hardware_model}.
