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.

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.

I already apologized for using abbreviations. I did not know there were
sites like this where full spellings were required. Let's not rub it in.

You tell me, when you'are at a picnic, and someone asks you directions, do
you reply to him or her rude like that? Or do you try to at least make them
understand, if they said they know nothing about the area?
