Drivers for Third-party, Icon-driven Software
LabVIEW® Support
We provide LabVIEW® support for expansion and signal conditioning modules. Our data acquisition VIs
for LabVIEW are more than just simple hardware access VIs, they are complete with engineering data
conversion, data display and logging capabilities.
DASYLab®
If your application requirements go beyond the scope of DaqView, you may want to consider DASYLab
software, as the latter offers a greater degree of flexibility and customizing.
Language Drivers
Each Daq system comes with an Application Programming Interface (API). API-language drivers include:
C/C++, and Visual Basic. The latest software is a 32-bit version API.
DaqBook/2000 Series devices are supplied with DaqX Subroutine API Libraries. These provide complete
support for all of the functionality available on each data acquisition device in Visual Basic®, and C/C++.
In addition, DaqX is supported under all versions of Windows®. Over 100 program examples are included
with DaqX Subroutine API Libraries. API documentation is provided in a Programmer’s Manual (p/n
1008-0901), which is included on the installation CD.
The DaqCOM™ suite of programming allows applications developers to rapidly develop and deploy
custom systems by leveraging COM (Component Object Model) technology. DaqCOM does this by
providing a powerful easy-to-use interface to most programming languages including, Visual Basic®,
VBA, C++, and J++. In addition, DaqCOM supports the new Windows.NET architecture and includes
examples for VisualBasic.NET and C++. Support for VisualStudio.NET is accomplished via the
COMInterop feature within VisualStudio.NET.
