Software Interface
Most OEM customers prefer a proprietary software solution for each application. Avantes Dynamic Linking Library (DLL) interface facilitates direct instrument control through our customers software. This interface contains functions that enable setting/getting hardware parameters from the spectrometers, designing functions for data acquisition, establishing communication with one, or multiple spectrometers and communication with other devices using TTL, digital, and analog input and output signals. The interface package is available for 32 and 64 bit Windows environments as well as Linux and includes a number of sample programs developed to initiate writing an application in C++, Visual Basic, LabView, Matlab, C#, C++, Delphi, and others. OEM customers are provided with a detailed manual on our DLL interface as well as direct software development support.
