11. Software Support with MEDAQLib
The Micro-Epsilon Data Acquisition Library offers you a high level interface library to access optoNCDT laser
sensors from your Windows application in combination with
- RS422/USB converter (optional accessory) and a suitable PC1700-x/USB/IND cable or
- IF2008 PCI interface card and PC1700-x/IF2008 cable
into an existing or a customized PC software.
You need no knowledge about the sensor protocol to communicate with the individual sensors. The indivi-
dual commands and parameters for the sensor to be addressed will be set with abstract functions.
MEDAQLib translates the abstract functions in comprehensible instructions for the sensor.
MEDAQLib
- is a DLL/LIB usable for C, C++, VB, Delphi and many other Windows programming languages,
- supports functions to talk to the sensor
- hides the details on how to talk to the communication interface (RS232,RS422,USB,TCP)
- hides the details of the sensor protocol
- converts the incoming data to „expected data values“
- provides a consistent programming interface for all Micro-Epsilon sensors
- provides many programming examples many different programming languages
- the interface is documented in a large *.pdf file
