Galil Software Tools And Libraries - Galil Motion Control CDS-3310 User Manual

The controller has a special command, CW, which can affect the format of unsolicited messages. This
command is used by Galil Software to differentiate responses from the command line and unsolicited
messages. The command CW1 causes the controller to set the high bit of ASCII characters to 1 of all
unsolicited characters. This may cause characters to appear garbled to some terminals. This function
can be disabled by issuing CW2. For more information, see

Galil Software Tools and Libraries

API (Application Programming Interface) software is available from Galil. The API software is
written in C and is included in the Galil CD-ROM. They can be used for development under DOS and
Windows environments (16 and 32 bit Windows). With the API's, the user can incorporate already
existing library functions directly into a C program.
Galil has also developed an ActiveX Tool Kit. This provides 32-bit OCXs for handling all of the
CDS-3310 communications including support of interrupts. These objects install directly into Visual
Basic, LabVIEW, C, or any software that accepts ActiveX tools and are part of the run-time
environment. For more information, contact Galil.
