There are many demo programs, written in VC++, VB, Delphi, and
BCB++, given in the companion CD. These demo programs call the DLL,
PCIM512.DLL, to access the hardware of PCI-M512. The PCIM512.DLL will
call the kernel driver, Windrvr.vxd or Windrvr.sys as follows:
VC++ demo program
VB demo program
Delphi demo program
BCB++ demo
p
ro
g
ram
PCIM512.DLL
User mode
(same for 95/98/NT/2000XP)
Windrvr.vxd
(for 95/98)
Windrvr.sys
(for NT/2000/XP) Kernel mode
The install shields installs kernel driver, DLL driver & application demo
program to system. All demo program & DLL are the same for 95/98/NT/2000/XP.
However, the kernel driver is different for different system as follows:
 for windows 95/98 will copy WINDRVR.VXD to
C:\WIN95\SYSTEM\VMM32
 for windows NT/2000/XP will copy WINDRVR.SYS to
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS
All DLL & demo program will not work if the kernel driver is not installed
correctly. The install shields will copy the correct kernel driver to the correct position
if you select the correct O.S.(95/98, NT, 2000, XP).
Refer to CallDll.pdf for more information about how to call the DLL
functions with VC++6, VB6, Delphi3 and Borland C++ Builder 3. Refer to
step5 of Sec. 1.2.2 for more information.

1.2 Installation Quick Start
The PCI-M512 can be used in Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP. The recommended
installation steps are given in Sec 1.2.1 ~ Sec. 1.2.4
1.2.1 Step 1: Software Installation
Step 1: insert the companion CD into the CD-ROM driver. It will auto run as follows:
Step 2: click the first item, Toolkits (Softwares)/Manuals
PCI-M512 User’s Manual (Ver.2.1, April/2004, PPH-017-21) ----- 7

Step 3: click the first item, PCI Bus DAQ Card
Step 4: click the last item, PCI-M512
Step 5: click the third item, Install Toolkit for Windows NT
(Or 98, 2000, XP)
Then the install shields will install the kernel driver, DLL driver & application
demo program to system. All demo programs & DLL are the same for
95/98/NT/2000/XP. However, the kernel driver is different for different systems as
follows:
 for windows 95/98 will copy WINDRVR.VXD to
C:\WIN95\SYSTEM\VMM32
 for windows NT/2000/XP will copy WINDRVR.SYS to
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS
All DLL & demo programs will not work if the kernel driver is not installed
correctly. The install shields will copy the correct kernel driver to the correct position
if you select the correct O.S. (95/98, NT, 2000, XP).

2.2 IDs of PCI-M512
The IDs of PCI-M512 are given as follows:
• Vendor ID = 10B5
• Device ID = 9050
• Sub-vendor ID= 2129
• Sub-device ID = 0512
The plug&play BIOS will assign proper resources to every PCI-M512 card in
the power-on stage. The software driver of the PCI-M512 will use these IDs to access
the hardware on PCI-M512.
User must use PCIM512_DetectBoards() to detect all PCI-M512 boards
first. Then user can use the following commands to access SRAM or D/I/O of
detected board.
Read Function Write Function
SRAM R/W Byte PCIM512_ReadSramByte(…) PCIM512_WriteSramByte(…)
SRAM R/W Word PCIM512_ReadSramWord(…) PCIM512_WriteSramWord(…)

PCIM512_ReadIBoardId(dwBoardNo,*dwVendorId, *dwDeviceId,
*dwSubVendorId, *dwSubDeviceId) is designed to read back the IDs of
detected PCI-M512 boards.

2.3 Block Diagram of D/I/O
The PCI-M512 provides 16 channels of digital input and 16 channels of digital
output. All levels are TTL compatible. The connections diagram and block diagram
are given as follows:

The D/O port can be connected to the DB-16R or DB-24PR. The DB-16R is a 16
channel Relay output board. The DB-24R is a 24 channel Power Relay output board.
(note: only 16 channels of these 24 channels are valid).
The D/I port can be connected to the DB-16P. The DB-16P is a 16-channel
isolated digital input daughter board. Note: the starting 4 channels are used by
battery status bits as the above diagram shows.
All D/I & D/O are TTL compatible.
