SEI Explorer software information. 3-08-99
Software for Windows 95/98 or Windows NT Rev. 1.05

This readme file will explain how to setup the SEI bus with Windows 95/98/NT.

Getting started:
Connect the AD2-A adapter to any of the serial ports of your PC (COMx).
Connect 6-pin modular cable(s) from the AD2-A to the SEI device(s).  Connect 
the power supply to the AD2-A.  Also connect a power supply to any other devices 
as needed.  If you are using an analog version A2 (A2-A-...), you can only connect 
one encoder to the bus.  Run the Setup.exe file and follow its instructions to 
install the SEI Explorer on your hard drive.  Next run the SEI Explorer software 
by clicking the start button then clicking the SEI Explorer Icon located in the 
Programs section.  The SEI Explorer searches each serial port to locate all of 
the SEI devices automatically.  If an error message occurs then check all of 
the connections and try again.

The following files were written with Microsoft Visual C++ Version 5.0 and 
Microsoft Visual Basic Version 5.0 or 6.0.  They are designed to run under 32-bit 
Windows platforms, such as Windows 95/98 or Windows NT.

The files listed below will be located in the directory you specify after 
running setup.exe:

SEIExplorer.exe	  The Visual Basic demo software for 32-bit Windows.
SEIDrv32.lib 	  Library file for SEIDrv32.DLL, for interfacing to the DLL.
SEIDrv32.H	  Header file for SEIDrv32.DLL, SEI functions are declared in here.
Readme.txt	  This File.
A2.zip		  Sample program for an A2.
AD5.zip		  Sample program for an AD5.
ED2.zip		  Sample program for an ED2.
M1.zip		  Sample program for an M1.

The files listed below will be located in the windows system directory:

SEIDrv32.DLL	  32-bit DLL with Interface functions to the SEI Bus.
SEISrv32.exe	  com port server which interfaces with the SEIDrv32.DLL.

Programming:
The "SEIDrv32.DLL" Dynamic Link Library (DLL) supplies simple interface functions 
to the SEI Bus.  Also included is the "SEIDrv32.lib" and "SEIDrv32.H" for 
experienced users to interface the SEIDrv32.DLL with their custom software.  
In order to use the DLL in a custom C++ program the user would need to include the 
header file (#include "SEIDrv32.h") and add the library file ("SEIDrv32.lib") to 
their project.  Also make sure the SEIDrv32.DLL file is in the windows system
directory

You can use any of the supplied source code as part of your own control software, but we 
make no guaranties on any part of it.
