3.0 XPS .NET Software Drivers
3.1 How to Install .NET Drivers for XPS Controller
3.1.1 Requirements
.Net Framework is a programming infrastructure created by Microsoft for building,
deploying, and running applications and services that use .NET technologies such as
custom desktop applications.
The Windows PC computer requires having at least the .NET Framework installed and
you need to install either 32 bit (x86) or 64 bit (x64) .NET assembly depending on the
Windows version you are using.
When developing your application, refer to the programming environment
documentation to make the installed .NET assembly visible.
To communicate with the XPS controller you will need to:
• Use the OpenInstrument method to connect to the controller
• Communicate with the controller using any of its API e.g. FirmwareVersionGet
• Once your application terminates it needs to disconnect from the controller using the
CloseInstrument method. If it doesn’t close the communication channel and runs
many connections to the controller, it can run out of free channels and gets an error.
