Programming and Developing Applications

After following the installation instructions in Chapter 2, your board should now be installed and ready for use.
In general there may be no correspondence among registers for different boards. Software written at the register
level for other models will not function correctly with your board.

Programming languages

Measurement Computing’s Universal Library provides access to board functions from a variety of Windows
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 refer to the Universal Library User's Guide (available on our web

site at

www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/sm-ul-user-guide.pdf

).

Packaged applications programs

Many packaged application programs now have drivers for your board. If the package you own does not have
drivers for your board, 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 obtain drivers.

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 by phone, fax or e-mail:

Phone: 508-946-5100 and follow the instructions for reaching Tech Support.

Register-level programming

You should use the Universal Library or one of the packaged application programs mentioned above to control
your board. Only experienced programmers should try register-level programming.

If you need to program at the register level in your application, refer to the Register Map for the CIO-DAS08.
