This chapter contains information about how to program the GXSW boards using the GXSW driver. The GXSW driver contains functions to initialize, reset, and control the GXSW instruments. A brief description of the functions, as well as how and when to use them, is included in this chapter. The section GXSW General Function Reference 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 GXSW folder contains examples written for these development tools. Refer to 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 chapter. Since the driver functions and parameters are identical for all operating systems and development tools, the example can serve as a framework when using other programming languages, programming tools, and other GX1110 driver types.
This section explains how to program the switching instruments using the GXSW driver. It also provide explanation how to the driver using the various programming tools. It contains the following topics :
Programming Using Visual Basic
