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 Windows­based systems, 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. Contact ADLINK dealers to pur­chase the software license.

Programming Library

For customers who are writing their own programs, we provide
function libraries for many different operating systems, including:

X D2K-DASK: Include device drivers and DLL for Windows

98/NT/2000/XP. DLL is binary compatible across Windows
98/NT/2000/XP. This means all applications developed with
D2K-DASK are compatible across Windows 98/NT/2000/
XP. 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\Software
Package\D2K-DASK)

X 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\Software Pack­age\D2K-DASK-X.)

Introduction 13

DAQ-LVIEW PnP: LabVIEW Driver

DAQ-LVIEW PnP contains the VIs, which are used to interface
with NI’s LabVIEW software package. The DAQ-LVIEW PnP sup­ports Windows 98/NT/2000/XP. The LabVIEW drivers is shipped
free with the card. You can install and use them without a license.
For detailed information about DAQ-LVIEW PnP, refer to the
user’s guide in the CD. (\\Manual\Software Package\DAQ-LVIEW
PnP)

D2K-OCX: ActiveX Controls

Customers who are familiar with ActiveX controls and VB/VC++
programming are suggested to use D2K-OCX ActiveX control
component libraries for developing applications. D2K-OCX is
designed for Windows 98/NT/2000/XP. For more details on D2K­OCX, refer to the user's guide in the CD. (\\Manual\Software Pack­age\D2K-OCX)

The above software drivers are shipped with the card. Refer to the
Software Installation Guide in the package to install these drivers.

In addition, ADLINK provides the DAQBench ActiveX control soft­ware. DAQBench is a collection of ActiveX controls for measure­ment or automation applications. 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, refer to the user's guide in the CD.
(\\Manual\Software Package\DAQBench Evaluation)

You can also get a free 4-hour evaluation version of DAQBench
from the CD. DAQBench is not free. Contact ADLINK or your
dealer to purchase the software license.

2 Installation

This chapter describes how to install the DAQ-/DAQe-/PXI-2204/
2205/2206/2208 card. The contents of the package and unpacking
information that you should be aware of are outlined first.

The DAQ-/DAQe-/PXI-2204/2205/2206/2208 card performs an
automatic configuration of the IRQ and port address. You can use
the PCI_SCAN software utility to read the system configuration.

2.1 Contents of Package

In addition to this User's Manual, the package includes the follow­ing items:

X DAQ-/DAQe-/PXI-2016/2010/2006/2005 multi-function data

acquisition card

X ADLINK All-in-one CD

X Software Installation Guide

If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact the dealer
from whom you purchased the product. Save the shipping materi­als and carton in case you want to ship or store the product in the
future.

2.2 Unpacking

Your DAQ-/DAQe-/PXI-2204/2205/2206/2208 card contains elec­tro-static sensitive components that can be easily be damaged by
static electricity.

Therefore, the card should be handled on a grounded anti-static
mat. The operator should be wearing an anti-static wristband,
grounded at the same point as the anti-static mat.

Inspect the card package for obvious damages. Shipping and han­dling may cause damage to the card. Be sure there are no ship­ping and handling damages on the modules carton before
continuing.

After opening the card module carton, extract the system module
and place it only on a grounded anti-static surface with component
side up.

Installation 15

Again, inspect the module for damages. Press down on all the
socketed IC's to make sure that they are properly seated. Do this
only with the module place on a firm flat surface.

You are now ready to install your DAQ-/DAQe-/PXI-2204/2205/
2206/2208 card.

NOTE DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE CARD IF IT HAS

BEEN DAMAGED.
