Creating Custom Software Interfaces

Galil provides programming tools so that users can develop their own custom software interfaces to a
Galil controller. These tools include the ActiveX Toolkit and DMCWin.
ActiveX Toolkit
Galil's ActiveX Toolkit is useful for the programmer who wants to easily create a custom operator
interface to a Galil controller. The ActiveX Toolkit includes a collection of ready-made ActiveX COM
controls for use with Visual Basic, Visual C++, Delphi, LabVIEW and other ActiveX compatible
programming tools. The most common environment is Visual Basic 6, but Visual Basic.NET, Visual
C++, Wonderware, LabVIEW and HPVEE have all been tested by Galil to work with the .OCX
controls. The ActiveX Toolkit can be purchased from Galil at
