The update site comes with four columns that tell you all available software applications, the software application(s) installed in your system, the recommended update, and the update's release note. It is recommended that you check the release note before downloading the update to avoid system conflicts and other related issues. # Code Creator Code Creator is an easy-to-use code generator that works with ADLINK DAQ devices. It provides an intuitive user interface that reduces system development time. You simply select the devices, configure the data acquisition parameters and the viewing windows, then generate the corresponding C source code for further programming. DAQMaster provides a function button that you can use to launch Code Creator. ![Code Creator\nNo Source\nCode Generator\nADLINK\nCode Creator\nCode type\nPCB-DASK\nDQK-DASK\nCode file name:\nDQK-0001\nLocation:\nC:\ADLINK\DAK-Master\\nCard type: PCB208\nOperation:\nFloating Output\nDigital Input\nDigital Output\n下一步(N) )\n取消\nReady](.daqmaster-manual-1/e84ae57a64bbdd58cf4e0db77f94b2243096b282606714f8bad04fe383040cf6.jpg) # Data Conversion Tool Data files generated by DAQ functions that perform continuous data acquisition is written in binary format.
