2.2.3.3 Card and Socket Services Software
In order to use the IOP-241 Enabler for DOS, the system MUST NOT be configured with Card
and Socket Services software. If Card and Socket Services software is installed, the IOP-241
Enabler may interfere with its operation and with the device(s) it controls. For systems
configured with Card and Socket Services, the IOP-241 Client Driver is the recommended
method of configuration.

2.3

After Completing Configuration

The IOP-241 is now configured and ready for use. Depending on the type of application
software to be used, the user may wish to review one or more of the following:

1. Chapter 4 of this document provides a basic theory of operation of the card for users

that wish to learn the technical details about the operation of the IOP-241.

2. For users that want to program the IOP-241 with direct I/O transfers to the card’s

register set, Chapter 5 provides an address map and a detailed description of each
I/O register.

3. Users that wish to write custom application software without programming the

IOP-241 directly should consult the DAQDRIVE software reference manual.
DAQDRIVE provides a library of data acquisition subroutines and is included free
of charge with the IOP-241.

4. For third party data acquisition software such as LabTech Notebook®, LabVIEW®,

TestPoint® or SnapMaster®, consult the documentation provided by the software
manufacturer.
