THE MAIN WEB LINK
At THE MAIN WEB LINK you'll find folders for LabView developers, VisualBasic developers, VisualC++ ( or other C/C++ developers ) and a folder that contains resources to be shared by all developers such as driver, DLL, .ini files, docs, etc. You should be able to download any file located in any of those folders by right-clicking your mouse on it and choosing the "Save Target As" option from the menu that appears. You may also be able to open Read_1st.txt file directly into your browser just by double-clicking your mouse on it. Be aware that if you load Read_1st.txt into your browser, you will typically need to hit the browser "back" button to return to this page since it will be opened within the the same browser window. The folder _Examples in each of the development language type folders contains groups of sample code - each showing ways to interract with the functions (API) available with the DLL. There is an archive within each of those folders which allow you to download an entire project at once or you can download a single file such as a .cpp source or .h header file to see what's going on. Depending on your browser configuration, you may be able to just left-click your mouse on one of the source files (.cpp, .h, .bas, etc.) and it will open as a text document in your browser's window (or maybe automatically load the particular file into your IDE for viewing) giving you a quick and easy way of getting a feel for how easy it can be to interract with our new DLL. The folder All developers can make use of the simplified API using the DLL LL_USB2k.DLL for Win2k/XP/NT developers with it's Device Driver LL_USB2k.sys located at: Driver, DLL, .INI, .Inf, etc. Win2k/XP/NT or LL_USB.DLL with it's Device Driver LL_USB.sys located at: Driver, DLL, .INI, .Inf, etc. Win98/ME Important: That DLL at the link given, will always be the most recent. The various archives may contain an older copy of the DLL that was created at the time the particular archive was made. Although a new DLL may be created to fix certain errors that we became aware of, it is more often the case that a new one is created to add even more functionality to make the developer's job interracting with the DLL easier. You can always replace the copy of the DLL that was included in your archive with the newest one. The link above simply takes you to a folder located at the main link given in bold further up this page. If you've previously installed one of our devices, you will only need to copy the .sys (device driver) into your "windows/system32/drivers" directory (overwrite previous driver) and place the .dll file within the application directory. If you haven't previously installed, you will need to place all of those files into the same location (floppy disk is preferred) to be used by the Windows installer when you first connect your device. The API is documented with prototypes and descriptions for all programming languages mentioned above at: API Documentation The link above simply takes you to one of the sub-folders located at the main link given in bold at the middle of this page. Please Note: the FuncUse.htm file located there may be updated more frequently than the one that is actually located within the archive. This is a relatively new project and we continue to add more documentation to explain the API while still allowing the download and use of the simplified DLL. There are many functions within the DLL to simplify development of an application around our Model-30x devices so it will take a little while to fully document. ( HTML update: 3-3-06 ) If you've previously loaded one of the HTML files in your browser, you may need to use your browser's "refresh" button to view the contents of the updated file. ( DLL update: 3-3-06 ) Just copy the newest over top of the previous one - driver update required if DLL version is older than driver version ( Driver update: 7-6-04 ) Just copy the newest over top of the previous one. ( Sample application update: frequent ) Please check listing to see if there is anything new for your development platform |
