The Hil class is the starting point for accessing hardware using the Quanser .NET Class Library. Create a Hil object to begin accessing a particular data acquisition card. If the default constructor is used to initialize the object then the Open(String) or Open(String, String) method must be called to open a specific data acquisition card.

Data acquisition cards are identified by the type of card and a card identifier. The card type is denoted by a string, such as "q8", which corresponds to a particular kind of card. In this case, "q8" refers to the Quanser Q8 card.

The card identifier is also a string. It distinguishes between more than one card of the same type in the system. For example, if you have two Quanser Q8 cards in your system then the first card would be identified by "0" and the second card by an identifier of "1". Card identifiers are typically the numbers "0", "1", "2", etc. as strings. In this case the first card is always denoted by "0". Some cards also support symbolic names such as "Dev1". The National Instruments cards allow symbolic card identifiers which are set using Measurment and Automation Explorer.

Hardware access under the Quanser .NET Class Library may be categorized into several categories:

The properties methods are:

The immediate I/O methods are:

The buffered I/O methods are:

The task methods are:

The watchdog methods are:

The interrupt methods are:
