1.4 Software Overview

and application software to help fully exploit the functions of your PCI-
1784 card:
❏
Device Drivers (on the companion CD-ROM)
❏
LabVIEW driver*
❏
Advantech ActiveDAQ
❏
Advantech GeniDAQ
Programming choices for DA&C cards: You may use Advantech
application software such as Advantech Device Drivers. On the other
hand, advanced users are allowed another option for register-level
programming, although not recommended due to its laborious and time-
consuming nature.
Device Drivers
The Advantech Device Drivers software is included on the companion
CD-ROM at no extra charge. It also comes with all the Advantech
DA&C cards. Advantech’s device drivers features a complete I/O
function library to help boost your application performance. The
Advantech Device Drivers for Windows 2000/95/98/ ME/NT/XP
works seamlessly with development tools such as Visual C++, Visual
Basic, Inprise C++ Builder and Inprise Delphi.
Register-level Programming
Register-level programming is reserved for experienced programmers
who find it necessary to write codes directly at the level of device
registers. Since register-level programming requires much effort and
time, we recommend that you use the Advantech Device Drivers
instead. However, if register-level programming is indispensable, you
should refer to the relevant information in Appendix C, Register
Structure and Format, or to the example codes included on the
companion CD-ROM.
