2.) Communication DLL
The direct way for communicating with the ... is the communication DLL. It can be started with
any Windows application. The whole process can be realized without any intermediate files and
also be set individually. We advise software producers to choose this method for the integration of
the devices. You can find the DLL and the appropriate explanation on the installing-CD.

3.) Direct integration via C-Source code
There are some operating systems that do not support the use of DLLs. In order to solve this
problem there is also a C-Source code available on the installing-CD. That way communicating with
programs designed under Unix or Linux is also possible.

4.) Datafox-Talk
Via Datafox-Talk data transmission with Datafox AEIII+, Timeboy and the MasterIV-series is
possible on file- and database layer. Therefore it is an alternative to communication via DLL. An
advantage of this method is, that no installation is necessary. The data are taken over and displayed
as ASCII-file. If desired and with computation a direct connection to databases is possible. There
the costumer has to decide which database tables and fields shall be filled. Datafox-Talk supports
all functions for transmitting data and for setting the device. Via timing the times for transmission
can be set freely. Via additional modules the data can also be transmitted per radio, internet,
telephone-/ mobile network.
