    Appendix C - Serial Communication (a brief overview) Introduction One of the features of the Optris PI Connect software is the ability to communicate via a serial comport interface. This can be a physical comport or a Virtual Comport (VCP). It must be available on the computer where the PI connect software is installed.

    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Appendix D – Interprocess Communication (IPC) The communication to the process imager device is handled by the Optris PI Connect software (Imager.exe) only. Optris supplies a dynamic link library (ImagerIPC2.dll) that serves the interprocess communication (IPC) for other attached processes. The DLL can be dynamically linked into the secondary application. Or it can be done static by a lib file too.
