Description - DRV-WINAC

The WinAC Basis implementation is based on the Siemens WinAC ODK by creating a COM while the
WinAC RTX implamentation is based on the WinAC RTX ODK.

WinAC Basis:

The implementation is based on the Siemens WinAC ODK by creating a COM object which is called from the WinLC scan cycle. The COM object is located in the file CIFACDriver.DLL.
Hardware access to the Hilscher CIF cards based on the “CIF Device Driver” for Windows NT 4, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
The CIF-WinAC driver offers transparent access to the different devices. Therefore it hides the functionality’s for ISA, PCMCIA and PCI cards.
The cards can be selected by the original "DeviceType" string and a board number between 0 to 3. The board numbers can be obtained from the device driver setup program.

WinAC RTX

The implementation is based on the Siemens WinAC RTX ODK. The driver is located in the CIFACDriver.RTDLL which is called from the WinLC scan cycle via a calling interface.
Hardware access to the Hilscher CIF cards is based on the “CIF RTX Driver” (CIFRTXDriver.rtdll).
The CIF-WinAC driver offers transparent access to the different devices. Therefore it hides the functionality’s for ISA and PCI cards. The cards can be selected by the original ‘Device Type”
string and a board number between 0 to 3.
