Getting Started
The CYDAS UDR Library is callable from many languages and environments, including Visual Basic®,
Visual C++, Borland C++ Builder, and Delphi. A list of the languages currently supported by the CYDAS
UDR Library is provided on page 1. Additionally, the UDR Library is now callable from any language
supported by the .NET framework. This chapter describes how to use the library from each of the languages,
as well as several 16-bit environments. The first section of the chapter describes details of the library that
apply to all languages. The following sections describe the differences for each language.
Before starting your application, you should perform the following:
 Set up and test your boards with InstaCal. The CYDAS UDR Library will not function until InstaCal has
created a configuration file (CB.CFG).
 Run the example programs for the language you program in.
Example programs
Example programs are installed into the Sample32 and Sample16 installation subdirectory for each
programming language mentioned above. Note that 16-bit sample programs are only installed when you
install the 16-bit library. The names of the installation folders are:
 C
 CWIN
 DELPHI
 VBWIN
All .NET applications run in the 32-bit Windows environment. A complete set of UDR Library for .NET
example programs are included in the C# and VB.NET folders of the CYDAS UDR Library installation
directory. Each program illustrates the use of CYDAS UDR Library functions from within a .NET program.
For a complete list of example programs, refer to the CYDAS UDR Library Function Reference
The CYDAS UDR Library Function Reference contains tables that list the UDR Library and UDR Library for
.NET example programs. Each table contains the name of the sample program and the functions that the
program demonstrates. This document is available on our website, on this software CD, and
C:\MCC\Documents (by default) after software is installed.
