Turn Word Wrap ON.

This VB example was written in VB4 (32bit) but can be used with versions 4.0 through 6.0 of Visual Basic.

It was tested with DriverLINX for DAS-1600 Series from CD part number SF-037A01 in Win95.  DriverLINX for DAS-1600 Series works only in Win9x.

This example uses two SR controls to interact with two subsystems of the board independently:  DI and DO.  Most plug-in boards have a few bits of digital input and output on the main I/O connector.  The DAS-1600 Series, in particular, have 4 bits of input and 4 bits of output.

This example uses an array of shape controls to display the state of the digital input bits.  The red color corresponds to a logic 0 state;  green color corresponds to logic 1 state.

This example also uses an array of check box controls to indicate the value to write to individual bits of the digital output channel.  A checked box indicates the bit should go to logic 1;  no check means logic 0.

A simple loop back connection between the input and output bits would be a good way to test this program.

DriverLINX Code developed for DAS-1600 Series boards can work with Keithley's PCI product line with little or no modification.  The KPCI-3108 is the best migration path.  The STA-3108-A2 screw terminal gives a DAS-1600 compatible male DB37 connector.
