How do I start using the example programs?

[idbeu]

Hi, I am trying to write a program/driver that will write and read from a couple analog output/input ports. I have a PCI-6220 and I'm running Slackware Linux.

I've been trying to compile the examples (aiex2 is a good choice), but I can't figure out how to make it compile successfully.

I do not consider myself a programmer (I'm a masters student of mechanical engineering), but I have modified drivers written in C for DOS before.

Ultimately, I want to use my program/driver to control a physical system by using the analog output/input ports, and I want to do it as fast as possible. I want my program/driver to run as a real-time process.

If there's a good reference for me to start reading, please send me a link. I can't find a good whitepaper or manual for writing drivers with the DDK.

Thanks!

Hi,

Here's a link to some MHDDK Knowledge bases:

I don't know if they'll address your partiucular problem.  If not, could you post the compilation errors you are getting.
