5 Program Execution
5.1 Program Execution Overview
There are three main stages to getting a new application up and running, although the precise means of
achieving this vary slightly depending upon the operating system:
1. Ensure that the device driver is installed and running.
2. Ensure that the protocol software is running on the host.
3. Write your application (making use of the examples supplied), compile it (using the header files supplied)
and link it with the supplied libraries to generate a finished application program.
The details of how these steps are achieved for each supported operating system are described in the
following topic:
