About the PCIS-DASK Software

PCIS-DASK is the high-level software driver for NuDAQ PCI cards and NuIPC Compact PCI cards. The software is designed to maximize programming flexibility and data throughput. There is only one set of application programming interface (API), so each card uses the same API to program. That means card to card the syntax for an analog input is the same. This will reduce the developer's learning effort if more than one kind of NuDAQ card is used.

Built into this software are sophisticated memory and data buffer management capabilities that free developers from having to deal with those complex issues. That is, PCIS-DASK is constructed to provide a simple programming interface for communication with the NuDAQ PCI-bus data acquisition cards. The easy to use functions provided by PCIS-DASK allow a programmer to use the features of the card in a high level way.

Using PCIS-DASK also lets you take advantage of the power and features of Linux for your data acquisition applications.  These include running multiple applications and using extended memory.

In addition to the software drivers, some sample programs are provided. You can refer to them and save a lot of programming time and get some other benefits as well.
