Overview

MasterLink Software Libraries provide an uncomplicated interface between the most popular programming languages and our PCI data acquisition Plug-in boards.

Simple high level commands eliminate the need for long sequences of bit-oriented, register specific programming. Identical functions are provided for each operating system supported. MasterLink software libraries support multiple DMA and software controlled acquisition processes and can run all of these processes concurrently.
