1.4  Software Overview 
Advantech offers a rich set of DLL drivers, third-party driver support and 
application software to help fully exploit the functions of your PCI-
1718HDU/HGU card:
•  Device Drivers (on the companion CD-ROM)
•  LabVIEW driver
•  Advantech ActiveDAQ
•  Advantech ADAQView
Programming choices for DA&C cards
You may use Advantech application software such as Advantech Device 
Drivers. On the other hand, advanced users can use register-level pro-
gramming, although this is not recommended due to its laborious and 
time-consuming nature.
Device Drivers
Advantech Device Driver software is included on the companion CD-
ROM at no extra charge. It also comes with all Advantech DA&C cards. 
Advantech’s Device Drivers features a complete I/O function library to 
help boost your application performance. Advantech Device Drivers for 
Windows 98/2000/XP works seamlessly with development tools such as 
Visual C++, Visual Basic, Borland C++ Builder and Borland Delphi.
Register-level Programming
Register-level programming is available for experienced programmers 
who find it necessary to write code directly at the level of the device reg-
ister. Since register-level programming requires much effort and time, we 
recommend that you use the Advantech Device Drivers instead. How-
ever, if register-level programming is indispensable, you should refer to 
the relevant information in Appendix C, Register Structure and Format
or to the example codes included on the companion CD-ROM.
