GaGe provides extensive software support for custom application development with Software Development Kits (SDKs) for C/C#, MATLAB, and LabVIEW for CompuScope digitizers. All SDKs provide several powerful programming examples illustrating the use of CompuScope digitizer hardware in different operating modes. These sample programs serve as a starting point for users to develop customized software applications optimzed for their specific application requirement
A)CompuScope SDK C/C# for Windows and Linux
Overview
The C/C# SDK sample programs are intended to be convenient starting points around which users can develop their own customized CompuScope software applications.
CompuScope hardware is directly controlled by the hardware driver that resides at the host operating system (OS) kernel level, which allows direct low-level access to CompuScope hardware registers and physical host PC memory
The hardware driver communicates with software at the host OS application level through dynamic link libraries (DLLs) that are communicated to via an Application Programing Interface (API) with its set of C subroutine calls and methods
Complete projects files for all C/C# SDK sample programs are provided for Microsoft Visual C/C++ version 6.0 or higher. Upon opening the workspace file for any C sample program, all supporting files, path specifications and build settings are automatically loaded. Compiled executable versions of all C and C# sample programs are provided with the SDK for convenience.
C# sample programs with identical functionality to the C sample programs are provided for operating CompuScope hardware in the .NET environment. .NET version 2.0 is required even if newer versions are installed.
The C sample programs may be operated under compilers other than Visual C/C++. However, complete project files must be assembled by the user and the specific compiler should be checked for other possible requirements on converting Visual C/C++ projects.
CompuScope systems are addressed from C or C# sample programs by first obtaining a handle for the system. After usage of the system is complete, the user must release the handle so that it is free for usage by other processes. By obtaining handles for different systems, a single C or C# program may simultaneously operate different CompuScope systems.
Alternately, separate C or C# programs may operate independently and simultaneously operate separate CompuScope systems by calling handles for each one. Different programs may even access the same hardware as long as one program frees the system handle before the other program obtains it. This is because different applications may not simultaneously access the same CompuScope system.
