Developer's Toolkit for DAPL Update

The DAPL 2000 operating system, starting with version 2.53, is associated with the Developer's Toolkit for DAPL version 5.03. Previous releases of DAPL 2000 added new DSP features to take advantage of the processing power available with the DAP 5200a and DAP 5400a boards. However, the Developer's Toolkit for DAPL did not keep pace. That problem is corrected now, and all of the new features – plus a whole lot more – are available to custom module developers.

If you have older command modules, they are still compatible with this DAPL 2000 release, no change is required. However, whether or not you use the new features, any command modules developed using version 5.03 of the Developer's Toolkit for DAPL cannot be loaded to Data Acquisition Processors running version 2.52 or any earlier version of the DAPL 2000 system. That is, if you use the new Toolkit, you must use the new system release.

The new Developer's Toolkit functions make available the DSP processing in all data types supported by the DAPL system. Custom applications that need a large dynamic range, or that need to retain precision that would ordinarily be lost to integer rounding, can take advantage of the additional data types.
