This section contains information about how to program the switching instruments using the GXCAL driver. The GXCAL driver contains functions to initialize, reset, and control the switching instruments. A brief description of the functions, as well as how and when to use them, is included in this chapter. Chapter 5 and the specific instrument User’s Guide contain a complete and detailed description of the available programming functions.
The driver supports many development tools. Using these tools with the driver is described in this chapter. In addition, the GX1034 directory contains examples written for these development tools. Refer to section Installation and Connections for a list of the available examples.
An example using the DLL driver with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 is included at the end of this section Since the driver functions and parameters are identical for all operating systems and development tools, the example can serve as an outline for other programming languages, programming tools, and other GX1034 driver types.
The following topics are available:
Programming Using Visual Basic
Programming Using Pascal/Delphi
Programming GXCAL Boards Using ATEasy®
Using the GXCAL driver functions
