For the "Driver Library API-PAC(W32)" and the "Standard COM Driver Software COM Setup

Disk" on the supplied CD-ROM, the range is 15 - 921,600 bps.

*2 Data transmission at high speed may not be performed normally depending on the

environment including the type of status of connected material of cable and environment.

*3 The interrupt signals from all channels are connected as a single interrupt signal on the PCI

Express bus.

Standard COM Driver Software COM Setup Disk

(Bundled)

The purpose of this software is to allow the CONTEC serial

communication boards to be used under Windows or Linux in the

same way as the standard COM ports on the PC.

By installing

additional boards, you can use COM ports in the range COM1 -

COM256.

The boards can be used for all types of serial communications

such as for remote access service (RAS) and uninterruptible

power supply (UPS) applications.

Under Windows, the serial ports can be accessed using the

standard Win32 API communication routines (CreateFile( ),

WriteFile( ), ReadFile( ), and SetCommState( ), etc.)

The serial

ports are also compatible with the Visual Basic communication

control (MSComm).

Under Linux, the serial ports are compatible with the operating

system's standard tty driver.

The standard routines including

open( ), close( ), read( ), write( ) are supported.

< Operating environment >

OS

Windows Vista, XP,

Server 2003 , 2000, Linux

CAUTION

The maximum number of COM ports able to be used depends

on the configuration of your OS.

API-PAC(W32) is the library software that provides the

commands for CONTEC hardware products in the form of

Windows standard Win32 API functions (DLL).

It makes it easy

to create high-speed application software taking advantage of the

CONTEC hardware using various programming languages that

support Win32 API functions, such as Visual Basic and Visual

C/C++.

It can also be used by the installed diagnosis program to check

hardware operations.

CONTEC provides download services (at

http://www.contec.com/apipac/) to supply the updated drivers and

differential files.

CAUTION

This library provides local routines that are specific to

CONTEC (SioOpen( ), SioWrite( ), SioRead( ), SioStatus( ),

etc.).

These are not compatible with the standard Win32 API

communication routines (CreateFile( ) and WriteFile( ), etc.).
