Additional drivers are provided for other operating systems such as Linux and LabVIEW Real-Time, see the readme file for more information regarding these drivers. The 32-bit DLL is used with 32-bit applications running under Windows 32 or 64 bit and the 64-bit DLL runs on Windows 64-bit editions. The DLLs uses device driver (HW provided by Marvin Test Solutions or VISA provided by a third-party vendor) to access the board resources. The device driver HW includes HW.SYS and HW64.SYS is installed by the GXFPGA setup program and is shared by other Marvin Test Solutions products (ATEasy, GTDIO, etc.).
The DLLs can be used with various development tools such as Microsoft Visual C++, Borland C++ Builder, Microsoft Visual Basic, Borland Pascal or Delphi, ATEasy and more. The following paragraphs describe how to create an application that uses the driver with various development tools. Refer to the paragraph describing the specific development tool for more information.
