Hi-Speed Data Acquisition Program

The HiSpeedDas program permits Data Acquisition Speeds up to 1 msecs (the ISEE program above can only log data at speeds up to 50 msecs). You simply select the speed of acquisition, what inputs to log, the log file and how you want the logging to be triggered. This program only runs on Windows 98 and 95

The fastest speed is dependent on the PC used and Windows. Because Windows is multitasking it is always taking time slices for its own operations and for other applications. So it is important when logging at high speeds that all other applications be shut down.

Linux Software

The program here provides a command line utility for setting the digital output lines, and logging the input from all eight analogue channels and the four digital inputs. Logging rate is variable, and the number of samples collected can be set.

The VB5 uses inpout32.dll while the Visual Basic 6, Delphi and Borland C++ program use IO.dll to access the parallel port. The InpOut32.dll is freeware and is available from www.lvr.com. This web site is invaluable to understand the workings of the parallel port. InpOut32 will allow your program to run only on Windows 95 and 98. 
IO.dll is also freeware. It will allow your program to run on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT and 2000.  It is recommended you read the the file ioreadme.txt in the io.zip file which has useful information about the functions available,  running the dll under Windows NT and 2000 and legal restrictions.
