Sample Code for Customizing the DA-685

The DA-685 computer comes with several pieces of sample code so users may customize LED notifications

behavior, digital I/O control, or to initiate emergency reboots when critical system applications come to a halt.

The Digital I/O Control Walkthrough

The DA-683 is designed with 4 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs that integrators and system administrators

may customize for their needs. The source code for controlling digital I/O behavior is located in the folder

<Software DVD>\examples\Example\C++\DIO\, while the compiled executable DIO.exe is located

under <Software DVD>\examples\Release. You can follow the steps below to test the digital I/O control

script, or you may freely modify the control script to create customized patterns that are associated with

specific system events. To review the digital I/O control code, see The Digital I/O Control Sample Code

section in Appendix A of this manual.

1. Create the c:\programs\examples folder and copy DIO.exe into that folder. Run DIO.exe.

2. You will be presented with a menu of three choices; first, select 1 to display the DIO’s current status.

3. In the screenshot below, the user has selected 1.

4. You may now run DIO.exe again, but this time select 2. At the next prompt, enter the ID number (0 to 3)

of the digital interface you wish to activate, and when prompted enter either 1 (to turn it on), or 0 (to turn

it off).
