	To jump-start your model 826 project, we offer a comprehensive demo program that provides a GUI for nearly every hardware resource on the board. A pre-built executable is included to allow you to immediately configure and exercise the board's I/O interfaces. All VB.NET source files are provided, including a reusable module (mid826.vb) that declares all functions, types, and constants for the 826 API.

	The demo program has a single window containing a system of tabs. Each tab is a collection of GUI controls related to a particular I/O subsystem. The General tab covers several subsystems (watchdog, safemode controller, and virtual digital outputs) and displays version information.		The demo program has a single window containing a system of tabs. Each tab is a collection of GUI controls related to a particular I/O subsystem. The General tab covers several subsystems (watchdog, safemode controller, and virtual digital outputs) and also displays version information.

	A specific 826 board must be selected for use with the demo program. If only one board is detected by the driver, it will be automatically selected and the tab system will appear when the demo starts. If multiple boards are installed, a dialog box will be displayed when the program starts which shows the IDs of all detected boards (set by board switches); you may select one board, whereupon the tab system will appear. The ID of the selected board appears at the top of the demo window (e.g., "Board #0").		A specific 826 board must be selected for use with the demo program.
