Using PC Plug-in Boards
VEE provides three ways to control PC plug-in boards or cards:
1. ODAS drivers supplied by the PC Plug-in card vendor.
2. Data Translation’s Visual Programming Interface. (Order the VPI
application directly through Data Translation.)
3. Dynamic link libraries supplied by the PC board manufacturer, such as
ComputerBoards or Meilhaus. (See “Using Dynamic Link Libraries” on
page 417 for information on using dynamic link libraries.)
Using ODAS Drivers
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install the PC Plug-in board,
install the ODAS driver software, and run the ODAS configuration utility.
Then configure the driver in VEE.
