response : string; { Text buffer for Driver488/SUB responses }
rv : Integer ; { General purpose return value }

end.
Upon execution, the following response is printed on the screen:
-- Driver488 ver 4.0........
To run this program, Driver488/SUB must be installed and resident. Successful operation of this
program proves that the driver is installed and the Driver488/SUB subroutines were properly linked to
the application program. Errors in setting up board parameters like DMA channel and interrupts will
not be detected by this program.

Accessing from a C Program
Note: Subroutines may be used with all C languages except Aztec C.
Driver488/SUB provides support for Microsoft C, Turbo C and Borland C. To allow for ready access
to all Driver488/SUB functions and type definitions, an include file provides all required declarations.
In addition, one include file must be included in the main module to provide for automatic detection of
certain compiler options and enable the required adjustments within the driver. Note that the header
files (
*.h ) must be included in your program and linked to the proper Driver488/SUB library files, as
described in the previous Sub-Chapter “Getting Started.” The following #include directives should
appear near the beginning of the main module.
•
For Borland C compilers:
#include “iot_main.h”
#include “iotbc20.h”
•
For Microsoft compilers:
#include “iot_main.h”
