state). We recommend using 2.2 K SIPs on the digital output pins. You will find
positions for pull up and pull down resistor packs on the board. For more details,
please refer to the application notes in Section 7.1 of this manual.

4 SOFTWARE

Due to the complex and somewhat unpredictable nature of Plug-and-Play addressing
software, we strongly recommend that users take advantage of our Universal Library
package's easy to use programming interfaces. However, if you are an experienced
programmer, and wish to read and write directly to the board, we have provided a
detailed register map in the next chapter.

4.1 UNIVERSAL LIBRARY

The Universal Library provides complete access to board functions from a range of
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 consider using
Universal Library.

4.2 PACKAGED APPLICATION PROGRAMS

Most packaged application programs, such as SoftWIRE, DAS Wizard, and HP-VEE
have drivers for the PCI-DIO48H/CTR15. If the package you own does not appear to
have drivers for the boards, 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 utilize the board with the driver available.

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 for more information.
