------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Driver 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    RTD's DM6430 board driver handles the hardware through the BlueWater抯 
WinRT driver. The WinRT driver provides the low-level access to the board, 
and the RTD's "Drvr6430.dll" provides the device API for the programmers, 
and communicates with the hardware through the WinRT driver. To use functions
implemented by the driver, you need to include the library "Drvr6430.lib" in
your Visual C++ project. 
    Functions provided by this library are listed in the header file
"Reg6430.h". Projects should also include the header file "Rtdtypes.h" which
contains common type definitions.

Installation (Windows 98/2000/XP)
---------------------------------
1.  Physically install the DM6430 board in your system.
2.  Open the Control Panel and start the Add New Hardware Wizard.
3.  Select the new hardware from the list as Other Devices 
    (Add a new hardware device in XP).
4.  Choose the Have Disk option (Show all devices in XP).
5.  Select on the diskette 0 the 98_Install folder in case of
    Windows 98, the 2000_Install folder in case of Windows 
    2000, and XP_install in case of XP operating system.
6.  Select the DM6430WDM.inf file to install the driver registry for the 
    first DM6430 board.
7.  Repeat the steps above and select the DM6430WDM_DualDMA.inf to install 
    the dual-DMA driver for the first DM6430 board.
8.  Before restarting the computer in the Control Panel/System/Device Manager
    under the WinRTDevices you can change the device I/O, Interrupt and DMA
    settings according to your computer's free resources. The I/O base address
    should match the DIP switch settings on your DM6430.
9.  Restart the computer, and continue by running the Setup.exe program on
    installation diskette 1 to install the example program files and the
    documentation on your hard disk.
10. Restart the computer and check the board's operation with the example
    programs.

Installation (Windows NT4)
--------------------------
1.  Physically install the DM6430 board in your system.
2.  Run the Setup.exe program on installation diskette 1 and install the
    example program files and the documentation on your hard disk. The setup
    program will also automatically install the driver for one board.
3.  The utility Drvr_cfg.exe can be used to configure or install boards.
3.  Restart the computer and check the board's operation with the example
    programs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Example Programs
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The package contains the example programs which demonstrate the key 
features of the board.  Each example program includes source code.

This following example programs are provided:

Console programs
----------------
    dma         Console application for DMA data acquisition.
    speedtst    Console application to test the different interrupt modes.

Windowed (GUI) programs
-----------------------
    Windowed programs were created using standard Visual C++ MFC AppWizard 
dialog based projects. Those projects include a number of source and resource
files that provide the GUI.

Actual DM6430-related code is located in the *Dlg.cpp files.

    wdac	Digital/analog conversation.
    wdigital	It programs the digital port 0 to input, port 1 to output.
    wdma	Single DMA channel acquisition.
    wdualdma	Dual DMA channel acquisition.
    whidin	High-speed digital input example.
    wintrpts	Demonstration how to use interrupts.
    wrandom	Random channel acquisition with CGT.
    wrepinsw	Repeated IN sampling.
    wsmpcnt	Sample counter interrupt.
    wsofttrig	Single A/D sampling.
    wtimers	Demonstration of user timer-counters.
    w2boards    Multi-board application example.

Common files:
    \Rtdmon32   This directory contains files that provide common GUI code for
                many windowed example programs.

Rebuilding the example programs
-------------------------------
    Start Microsoft Developer Studio, open the *.dsw workspace file containing
the projects for the example program. Rebuild the project in the 'Build' menu.
