Cyclone Control SDK

The Cyclone Control SDK allows the user to interact with the Cyclone via a .DLL.
8.2.1

Introduction

The Cyclone Control SDK is one of the three components that comprise the Cyclone Control Suite.
Its dynamic link library (.DLL) allows you to create an application on the PC that can directly control
one or more PEmicro Cyclone units. These interface routines are designed to be compiled into
visual and non visual applications running on Windows operating systems
The actual interface routines are located in the "CycloneControlSDK.dll" 32 bit DLL file. The DLL
is callable from almost any 32-bit / 64-bit Windows development environment. Since the way the
DLL is called varies depending on the compiler used, you are provided with the DLL interface code
and sample applications for each of the following compilers. Compilers in bold link to a PEmicro
blog post about using that environment with the SDK:
Borland Delphi 2.0+ (Pascal)
GCC
Microsoft Visual C
Microsoft Visual C#
NI LabVIEW 2018
