The ACCES Software Master CD contains setup programs, samples, and utilities for each card, as well as some general utilities useful for most cards. These include:
- Setup.exe - A Windows setup program to help you configure jumpers and calibrate the card, for those cards with jumpers or calibration.
- Samples demontrating how to use the card with:
- Borland C/C 3.1 for DOS
- C Builder, Delphi, VisualBasic 5/6, and Visual C 5/6 for Windows
- for some cards, gcc and g under Linux using <sys/io.h>
- for some cards, LabVIEW under Windows
- ACCES32 - A Windows .DLL that provides 32-bit Windows software with access to hardware registers. Samples demonstrating its use are also included. It contains many functions to perform register reads and writes. The samples provided provide a simply "debug.exe - lite" capability for Windows NT-based operating systems that is otherwise unavailable due to the kernel layer protections in these OSes.
The Linux equivalent, ACCESLinux, provides access the hardware via byte-sized, word-sized, and long-sized reads and writes via a kernel module. In addition, programs run as superuser or root can use ioperm() and the I/O functions from <sys/io.h> without any other modules, and we document this.
- PCIFind.exe - A utility for DOS and Windows to determine PCI bus resources allocated to installed PCI cards. Under Windows, PCIFind.exe builds and maintains a registry key describing installed PCI cards, and under Windows NT4, PCIFind installs ACCES COM cards.
- pcifind.plx - A PERL script that provides a friendly listing of all our PCI cards in your system, including their base addresses and IRQs. (Without this, you can get this information by entering "/sbin/lspci -vv -d 494f:*" at a command line, which is a much less friendly listing.)
- Instructions for converting DOS C code to Linux, using either <sys/io.h> or our ACCESLinux Register IO module.
- BIOS.exe - A sample utility demonstrating how to determine allocated resources at run-time from your own programs in DOS.
- AIOWDM - A generic interface for PCI card detection and IRQ handling in Windows 98SE / Me / 2000 / XP. Samples demonstrating its use are also included in Delphi, C Builder, and Visual C . (Note: IRQs in near-real-time data acquisition programs require multi-threaded application programming techniques and must be considered an intermediate to advanced programming topic.)
- Win32IRQ - A generic interface for IRQ handling in Windows 9x / Me / NT4. Source code is provided for the driver, greatly simplifying the creation of custom drivers for specific needs. Samples demonstrating its use are also included in Delphi, C Builder, and Visual C . (Note: IRQs in near-real-time data acquisition programs require multi-threaded application programming techniques and must be considered an intermediate to advanced programming topic.)
- RISCTerm.exe & WinRISC.exe - Dumb-terminal type communication programs designed for RS422/485 operation under DOS and Windows, respectively. Used primarily with REMOTE ACCES Data Acquisition Pods and our RS422/485 serial communication product line. Can be used to say hello to an installed modem. RISCTerm stands for Really Incredibly Simple Communications TERMinal.
- Poly.exe - A generic utility to convert a table of data into an nth order polynomial. Useful for calculating linearization polynomial coefficients for thermocouples and other non-linear sensors.
