C/C++ Libraries
This chapter describes the software library for operating these card. Only
the functions in DOS library and Windows 95 DLL are described. Please
refer to the PCI DASK function reference manual, which is included with
the CD, for the descriptions of the Windows 98/NT/2000/XP DLL functions.
The functions of PCIDIO 48H can also be applied to PCIDIO 24H.
Therefore, in the following section, there are no special functions for the
PCIDIO 24H. The software driver of PCIDIO 24H is fully compatible
with that of PCIDIO 48H. In the following sections, each function call that
has a name associated with “DIO48H" can be applied to PCIDIO 24H directly.
The function prototypes and some useful constants are defined in the
header files LIB directory (DOS) and INCLUDE directory (Windows 95). For
Windows 95 DLL, the developing environment can be Visual Basic 4.0 or
above, Visual C/C++ 4.0 or above, Borland C++ 5.0 or above, Borland
Delphi 2.x (32-bit) or above, or any Windows programming language that
allows calls to a DLL. It provides the C/C++, VB, and Delphi include files.
