1.4 Software Support
ADLINK provides versatile software drivers and packages for users’ dif­ferent approach to building up a system. ADLINK not only provides pro­gramming libraries such as DLL for most Windows based sy stems, but also provide drivers for other software packages such as LabVIEW®.
All software options are included in the ADLINK CD. Non -free software drivers are protected with licensing codes. Without the software code, you can install and run the demo version for two hours for trial/demonstration purposes. Please contact ADLINK dealers to purchase the formal license.
1.4.1 Programming Library
For customers who are writing their own programs, we provide function libraries for many different operating systems, including:
D2K-DASK: Include device drivers and DLL for Windows 98,
Windows NT and Windows 2000. DLL is binary compatible
across Windows 98, Windows NT and Windows 2000. This means all applications developed with D2K-DASK are compatible across Windows 98, Windows NT and Windows 2000. The developing environment can be VB, VC++, Delphi, BC5, or any Windows pro­gramming language that allows calls to a DLL. The user’s guide and function reference manual of D2K-DASK are in the CD. (\\Manual_PDF\Software\D2K-DASK)
D2K-DASK/X: Include device drivers and shared library for Linux.
The developing environment can be Gnu C/C++ or any program­ming language that allows linking to a shared library. The user's guide and function reference manual of D2K-DASK/X are in the CD. (\Manual_PDF\Software\D2K-DASK-X.)
1.4.2 D2K-LVIEW: LabVIEW® Driver
D2K-LVIEW contains the VIs, which are used to interface with NI’s Lab­VIEW® software package. The D2K-LVIEW supports Windows 98/NT/2000. The LabVIEW® drivers is shipped free with the card. You can i nstall and use them without a license. For detailed information about D2K-LVIEW, please refer to the user’s guide in the CD.
(\\Manual_PDF\Software\D2K-LVIEW)
12 Introduction
1.4.3 PCIS-OCX: ActiveX Controls
We suggest customers who are familiar with ActiveX controls and VB/VC++ programming use PCIS-OCX ActiveX control component libra r­ies for developing applications. PCIS-OCX is designed for Windows 98/NT/2000. For more detailed information about PCIS-OCX, please refer to the user's guide in the CD.
(\Manual_PDF\Software\PCIS-OCX\PCIS-OCX.PDF) The above software drivers are shipped with the card. Please refer to the
Software Installation Guide” in the package to install these drivers. In addition, ADLINK supplies ActiveX control software DAQBench.
DAQBench is a collection of ActiveX controls for measurement or auto­mation applic ations. With DAQBench, you can easily develop custom user interfaces to display your data, analyze data you acquired or received from other sources, or integrate with popular applications or other data sources. For more detailed information about DAQBench, please refer to the user's guide in the CD.
(\Manual_PDF\Software\DAQBench\DAQBenchManual.PDF) You can also get a free 4-hour evaluation version of DAQBench from the
CD. DAQBench is not free. Please contact ADLINK dealer or ADLINK to pur-
chase the software license.
