Software Support ® VxWorks Libraries (I/O Function Routines) ® IPSW-API-VXW VxWorks Support for Industry Pack modules and carriers PMCSW-API-VXW Support for PMC, PCI, and CompactPCI boards The VxWorks software libraries provide a simple API to quickly integrate Acromag’s I/O boards with your application program. 90SW-API-VXW Demonstration Program Ordering Information Support for VMEbus boards This powerful program lets you fully exercise the IPSW-API-VXW VxWorks software support package for Industry Pack libraries and your hardware before running the actual Application Programming products (supports all Acromag IP modules and carriers) application. These diagnostics will save you hours Interface (API) The IPSW-API-VXW library package offers support for troubleshooting and debugging your applications. You Acromag’s software development tools greatly simplify Acromag carriers. Other carriers are compatible, but require can set addresses, set up registers, read real-world some minor modifications. Acromag uses a very innovative the interface between the I/O boards and your software inputs, or drive outputs. The demonstration program modular programming technique. This allows new carrier application program. VxWorks libraries are supplied as steps you through the exact functions that are called in files to be created without affecting any of the complex IP “C”source code. These libraries provide easy-to-use your application. module files or interrupt service routines. function routines that quickly integrate with your PMCSW-API-VXW application. Function routines are ready for use “as-is,” VxWorks software support package for PMC, PCI, and but they are also easily customized for your unique CompactPCI products (supports all Acromag PMC modules application. and PCI or cPCI boards except IP carriers) 90SW-API-VXW VxWorks software support package for VMEbus boards Features (supports all Acromag VME boards except IP carriers) ■Easy installation procedure NOTE: 90SW-API-VXW package is supplied on ■Readme files with step-by-step instructions MS-DOS format 3.5”1.44MB disk. ■Quickly creates libraries for any IP carrier board User-Friendly Licensing Acromag’s VxWorks software libraries are provided with a full (supports third-party vendors) site license.
