More Precise Representation of Signal Range - Minimum and Maximum Voltages Smaller range ? More Precise Representation of Signal Gain - Amplifies or Attenuates Signal for Best Fit in Range Hardware Connections Advantech Device Driver Overview Advantech Device Driver provides comprehensive functions to maximize the hardwares performance. The powerful programming API functions are usable in a variety of programming environments and languages. Advantech Device Driver supports high-speed functions that utilize DMA or interrupt for data acquisition. The DMA transferring of data uses less CPU time and speeds the data transfer rate. These functions are used to transfer large amounts of data at high speed. Advantech Device Driver also supports event handling functions. Users can get the status of data transferring and acquisition when events are signaled within the device. Manual status check is not necessary. This improves the system efficiency. The Setup Screen of Advantech Automation Software Steps on Programming with Advantech Device Driver Configure Devices with Advantech Device Manager This device manager is a?software program that allows you to configure your hardware and stores the settings in your Windows registry. These settings will be used when you call the APIs of Advantech 32-bit Device Drivers. To configure (set up) each I/O device, please follow the procedure below. (Notes: For Windows 2K/XP OS, the PCI series device driver will be installed automatically when the card is plugged in. You can begin the hardware configuratio
