The Omni CD contains drivers and valuable software for our USB and PCI data acquisition products. The following software is installed automatically:
DT-Open Layers for .NET:
DT-Open Layers for .NET consists of a Class Library and the DT-Display control.
- DT-Open Layers for .NET Class Library is a collection of classes, methods, properties, and events that provides a programming interface for DT-Open Layers-compatible hardware devices. It can be used from any language that conforms to the Common Language Specification (CLS), including Visual Basic.NET, Visual C#, Visual C++.NET with managed extensions, and Visual J#.NET.
- DT-Display for .NET is a control for plotting data to a Windows form. It provides a powerful and user-friendly interface for rendering data.
DT-Open Layers for Win32:
DT-Open Layers for Win32 consists of the DataAcq SDK, DTx-EZ, and Device Drivers.
- The DataAcq SDK consists of the necessary header files, libraries, example programs, and documentation to develop your own DT-Open Layers data acquisition and control applications. It is intended for use with non .NET languages, such as ANSI C, Visual C++ 6.0, and Visual Basic 6.0.
- DTx-EZ provides visual programming tools for Microsoft Visual Basic and Visual C++ that enable quick and easy development of test and measurement applications.
- Device Drivers with streamlined installation: The 32-bit WDM device drivers make your application cross-platform compatible. These drivers support Data Translation PCI and USB boards under Windows 2000/XP.
You can install device drivers with a single click (no need to puzzle out which software you need), in an unprompted mode (useful for batch installation on multiple computers), or as part of an OEM product installation using the supplied OEM installer and instructions.
Note: If you have an existing application that was written using the DataAcq SDK, we recommend that you migrate your application to use the DT-Open Layers for .NET Class Library. This will guarantee compatibility with future Data Translation hardware and software.
Additional Software:
You can choose to install the following evaluation software:
- Measure Foundry: Measure Foundry is not only a test and measurement application builder, it's a revolution in simplicity that requires no complicated wiring! All you do is drag and drop! Easily and quickly create complex test and measurement applications without being an expert software developer. Evaluate Measure Foundry's great new features for 14 days.
- LV-Link: A collection of Virtual Instruments (VIs) that give programmers the ability to access the power of Data Translation's USB and PCI data acquisition boards through LabVIEW 8.0 software.
- quickDAQ: A ready-to-measure application for data acquisition. quickDAQ is a high performance .NET based data collection and analysis software application that allows you to acquire analog data, plot it during acquisition, analyze it, and save it to disk for later analysis.
The following software is available at no cost:
- DAQ Adaptor for MATLAB: Access the powerful visualization and analysis capabilities of MATLAB with any Data Translation PCI or USB board or module.
- OEM Installation Utility: A new utility that provides users with the ability to quietly install all drivers and support files, and step-by-step instructions included.
