PACSDK Library History

11/21/2012

INTRODUCTION
The XPAC and the WinPAC SDK have been unified and renamed as the PACSDK. The new PACSDK.dll provides support for two platforms, one being designed for the WinPAC series (ARM platforms) and the other for the XPAC series (x86 platforms).
The PACSDK.dll (x86) is linked to C/C++ programs for the XPAC series and replaces the previous SDK (XPACSDK_CE.dll), and the PACSDK.dll(ARM) is linked to C/C++ programs for the WinPAC series and replace the previous SDK (WinPACSDK.dll).

Below is a comparison of the new and previous SDK files

Items	WinPACSDK Library	XPACSDK (CE6) Library	PACSDK Library
Development Header Files	WinPacSDK.h	XPacSDK_CE.h	PACSDK.h PACSDK_PWM.h
Development Library Files	WinPacSDK.lib	XPacSDK_CE.lib	PACSDK.lib PACSDK_PWM.lib
Target Device Native DLL Files	WinPacSDK.dll	XPacSDK_CE.dll	PACSDK.dll PACSDK_PWM.dll
Target Device .NET CF DLL Files	WinPacNet.dll	XpacNet.dll	PACNET.dll

Other effects:
After releasing the PACSDK, the original SDK (WinPacSDK.dll/WinPacNet.dll used for WinPAC series modules and XPacSDK_CE6.dll./XPacNet.dll used for XPAC series modules) will continue to be maintained and released regularly i.e., for any update patches, but no new features will be added.

[Version 2.0.1.3] (The last release version for XPacSDK)

ENHANCEMENTS

Remove the response string length determined for pac_ReadAIAll() and pac_ReadAIAllHex() so that supports for all multi-channels AI modules.
