• GxSmu.h  - header file for accessing the DLL functions using the C/C++ programming language. The header file compatible with the following 32-bit development tools:

• Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Visual C++ .NET

• Borland C++

• GxSmu.lib and GxSmu64.lib - Import library for GxSmu DLLs  (used when linking C/C++ application that uses 32 or 64-bit versions of GxSmu.dll).

• GxSmuBC.lib - Import library for GxSmu.dll (used when linking Borland C/C++ application that uses GxSmu.dll).

• GxSmu.vb - Supports Microsoft Visual Basic .NET.

• GxSmu.llb - LabView interface for the GxSmu.dll.

• GX3104.drv - ATEasy driver File for GX3104

On-line Help and Manual
