This README.exe file explains the contents of the MCA8000A COM Package.  See the Programmer's Guide for more details (included in this package).  NOTE:  In order to run the program's in the Visual Basic section, you must have Visual Basic installed on your computer.  IF you do not have it installed you will get an error when running the programs.

The libraries themselves:
PmcaDll.dll		Dynamic Library.
PmcaDll.lib		Import Library for PmcaDll.dll. 
PmcaLib.lib		Static Library to include PMCA libraries into executable without DLL.
PmcaErr.h (definition of Pmca COM errors)
PmcaCom.h (C language representation of PMCA COM functions)

Two test programs to test the dlls with your MCA8000A (written in C++):
DllTest.exe (tests the PmcaDll.dll library)
LibTest.exe (tests the PmcaDll.lib library)

The Programmer's Guide that explains the libraries and how to use them:
MCA8000A Programmer's Guide.PDF

Two Examples using C++:
Pmcatest.cpp (the code for the Test program)
Pmcaex.cpp

Two Examples in Visual Basic 5.0:
Visual Basic Example #1:  A complete example of how to use all MCA8000A COM functions. In addition, it provides repeat measurement capability to aid in characterizing x-ray tubes or for radiation monitoring.

Visual Basic Example #2:  An example written to do a particular task.

An example using Lab Windows CVI:
Pmca_LabWindows.c
Pmca_LabWin.prj
MainWindow.uir
MainWindow.h
PmcaCom.Lib (.lib file for use with Lab Windows CVI - generated from PmcaDll.dll usign the instructions at the end of the MCA8000A Programmer's Guide.pdf)
