BioDAQ

Component Based DAQ Device Programming Model

Feature
DAQ device, a device group that cant define the specified targets, is generally classified as nonclassical devices. To
computer system, DAQ devices are some interactive devices. They can convert physical quantity of external stimuli to
digitaldataorconvertdigitaldatatopotentialpulse,whichissimilartothesenseandmotororganofanorganism.The
varied application changes and conflicting demands make interface definition and programming design more
complicated.
BioDAQmakesuseoftheconceptofsoftwarecomponenttodesignDAQdeviceSWdevelopmentkitandalsoemploys
Property, Method and Event of component as the interface to communicate with Applications. BioDAQ introduces the
concept of Configure and run and takes into account of both programming simplification and use flexibility. Besides,

DemosforBioDAQ
Demos for various development platforms are necessary. With the increasing changes of operation environment and
based on years Advantech support experience, applications have been classified and demos for frequentlyused
development tools, such as VC/C++, VB.NET and C# have been supported. BioDAQ SDK provides BioDAQ Class Library
