C++ and interrupts

[zaphy2k2]

Hi,

Ive just been lumbered with a project, which basically takes input from a digital board in a pci slot. It has nice c++ functions in a lib/dll, but also has an interrupt which i can use, from what i know of them, it alerts me when something happens(?), like a callback does, is this correct? And if so, how would i go about using one? Any tips or pointers would be great. Says it has a timer/counter thingie. The manual is exactly helpful sadly, most of the stuff ive had to work out myself so far!

cheers

To use the interrupt, you'd need to register an interrupt handler with the system. I've never needed to do this, so I'm not sure how to go about it, but a Google search on "interrupt handler" should produce some leads.
