Measurement Specialties PCI-2513 Computer Hardware User Manual

Chapter 3
Programming and Developing Applications
After following the installation instructions in Chapter 2, your PCI-2513 should now be installed and ready for
use. Although the board is part of the larger Measurement Computing hardware family, 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—such as SoftWIRE
and DASYLab
—now have drivers for your
board. If the package you own does not have drivers for the 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.
