Sample data log code for DSP?

So you didn't answer me just because I used abbreviations? I didn't know
there were still websites that required full unabbreviated words and
sentences. I thought I was on internet, no writing a letter. And if you
knew that it was my first time here you wouldve understood that I didn't
know any rules such as unabbreviated words and could've told me instead of
completely ignoring me.

I didn't answer you because I know nothing about the board. (Does it 
stand alone? Does it plug into a mother board?) Google would have told 
me, but you could have too.  The rest is just a matter of manners and 
the social norms expected here.

That's why I suggested documenting this to "da boss", if you need to 
prove that you've made a good college try.

But we tried!

Most of us don't -- I know I certainly wasn't trying to be condescending 
or rude in my response, and I'm sorry if it came across that way.  This 
is USENET, though, so expect some unsolicited rudeness from time to time 
-- it comes with the territory.  I try to take it as an opportunity to 
be nice in the face of rudeness -- sometimes I even succeed.

One often needs multiple tries to get the right answer -- one of the 
things one learns from newsgroups is how ambiguous any written language 
really is.

After you ask your boss for documents, search the manufacturer's web 
site (I should have thought of this before...).  Most manufacturers put 
all that sort of data up on their sites, so if Richard's suggestion 
hasn't lead you to it a good swing through the mfgr. site may well get 
you all the documents that should have come with the board.

(Note that some manufactures aren't good about this -- they either want 
to hold their IP tightly, or they aren't good at documenting what they 
sell.  But _most_ companies that are serious about selling this sort of 
thing will work hard to get you the data you need, whether you have 
their board or not.)

If it has sample code it may be fairly easy to adapt it to Windows 7.

At least easier than starting from a blank sheet.

Getting bent out of shape when someone's wise grandfather tries to help 
you out won't earn you points anywhere.

You may be on a web portal, but this is USENET.

And, if you look at your keyboard, you will note that there are over 100 
keys there, to help you spell each word out completely.  Moreover, there 
is no limit to the amount of text you can type in before you hit "send". 
  Thus, the only motivation to use abbreviations is for your own 
convenience, at the expense of those from whom you wish to solicit free 
advise.

Tell me -- when you're at a picnic, do you walk up to the guy at the 
grill, kick him in the shins and demand a burger?  Or do you at least 
smile at him when you hold out your plate?

Getting a response is a privilege and not a right.....  Folks have to be 
interested enough in your situation to be motivated, etc.  So, that some 
one in particular didn't provide a response is certainly no reason to 
chide them.  In fact, it's rude.  Jerry was giving you good advice as an 
aside.  If you pay attention to what he said then you'll benefit.  Be 
willing to learn from this.  "Thank you" never hurts.....

If I had a ready answer to your question then I'd likely have responded 
had I been around when you posted.  As it stands, you got some good 
input - even though *I* can't find the code referenced in Richard's post 
at DataRAM.  Or, did you expect for everyone lurking to post: "Gee 
sorry, I don't know" just to report in to you?

Sometimes it really helps to talk around the subject.  John's comment 
was particularly pertinent. Taking that as a lead, I looked into the 
P25M a bit:

It appears that the Pismo tools would be a step in the right direction:
http://www.innovative-dsp.com/ftp/P25M/
and the product documentation is there also.

Here you have a programmable PCI board.  I used to develop these things. 
   It's not uncomplicated because you have to do two or three things:
1) you have to have code for the board to run your app.
2) You need to have code on the PC to load the code on the board.
2) you have to have code for the PC to run your app.
So, I'd say that you need TWO sets of example code and some tools to 
make it make sense.

One day, during a cold winter, a chicken went for a walk. It was very=20
cold, so the chicken got frozen and felt down. Some cow was walking near =

by, and as she was passing, she dumped a pile of crap on the chicken.=20
The shit was warm, so the chicken came alive and started cackling. A fox =

heard the cackling, pulled the chicken out of the shit and ate him.

Moral:

1. The one who dumps on you is not always your foe.
2. The one who pulls you out is not always your friend.
3. If you are in the shit, don=92t cackle.

Bet he never looked at links in first hit on
http://www.google.com/search?q=dsp+P25M+"Innovative+Integration"

You know the ones containing "Datasheet" and "Documentation", 
among others :<

If you didn't know anything about the board you shouldn't have written
anything in the first place. I told you I googled it for three days and
still can't find it. I don't see where you got your manner, pretending to
help someone when you know nothing about it.

It is just a program that I need to install but I can't install it,
probably since the lab computers are using Windows 7. (The requirements
didn't include Windows 7)
And I tried e-mailing them about it, they gave me some solutions, none of
them worked.
