Support Software
Attached support software
API Function Library API-PAC(W32)
It is the library software which offers the command to the
hardware of our company in standard Win32API function (DLL)
form for Windows.
By the various programming languages which are supporting
Win32API functions, such as Visual Basic, and Visual C/C++,
the high-speed application software which harnessed the spe-
cial feature of the hardware of our company can be created.
Moreover, it can use also for the check of hardware of opera-
tion by the installed diagnostic program.
For details, please refer to Help or the homepage of our com-
pany in appending CD-ROM.
Environment of operation
Main correspondence OS Windows 2000, NT, Me, 98, etc
Main adaptation languages Visual C++, Borland C++, Visual
Basic, etc.
Others The hard disk which has 20MB empty domain for ev-
ery library software is required.
The newest driver and download service (http://www.contec.
co.jp/apipac/) of difference file are also offered.
Optional Support Software
Collection for measurement systems development of ActiveX
components
ACX-PAC(W32)BP
It is the convenient measurement systems development tool
for Windows in which the collection of examples which can be
used immediately, and the collection (collection of software
parts) of components which can program easily only by com-
bining were mentioned.
Component for control of the input-and-output board (card) of
our company is made the one package. Analog I/O, digital I/O,
control of each interface of GPIB communication and X-Y graph
display, and file preservation are possible.
Collection for measurement systems development of ActiveX
components
ACX-PAC(W32)AP
In addition to the function of ACX-PAC(W32)BP, components,
such as display systems, such as various graph, switch, and
lamp, and operation / analysis, serve as a package.
DDE server DDE SERVER(W32)
It is the software which transmits to DDE client by the cycle
which specified the data from the hardware of our company, or
setup. Data collection / analysis system can be easily created
combining DDE client software, such as Excel97, and
Wonderware InTouch, Visual Basic.
