Programming and Developing Applications 
After following the installation instructions in Chapter 2, your board should now be installed and ready 
for use. 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 
). 
 Packaged applications programs  
Many packaged application programs, such as SoftWIRE
, Labtech Notebook™, and HP-VEE™, 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:

Register-level programming 
You should use the Universal Library or one of the packaged application programs mentioned above to 
control your board. Only experienced programmers should try register-level programming. 
If you need to program at the register level in your application, refer to the Register Map for the PCI-
