Chapter 4 - Software Tools and 
Communications  

Introduction 

 
Galil software is available for PC computers running Microsoft Windows

®

 to communicate with the 

DMC-18x2 controller via the PCI bus.  Standard Galil communications software utilities are available 
for Windows operating systems, which includes 

SmartTERM

 and

 WSDK

. These software packages 

are developed to operate under Windows 98SE, ME, NT4.0, 2000, and XP, and include all the 
necessary drivers to communicate with the PCI card.  In addition, Galil offers software development 
tools (

 CToolkit

 and 

ActiveX Toolkit)

 to allow users to create their own application interfaces using 

programming environments such as C, C++, Visual Basic, and LabVIEW.   

 

Galil also offers some basic software drivers and utilities for non-Windows environments such as 
DOS, Linux, and QNX. For users who prefer to develop there own drivers, details are provided in this 
chapter describing the PCI communication registers used on the DMC-18x2 controller. 

 

 

The following sections in this chapter are a brief introduction to the software tools and communication 
techniques used by Galil. Figure-1 illustrates the software hierarchy that Galil communications 
software employs. At the application level, SmartTERM and WSDK are the basic programs that the 
majority of users will need to communicate with the controller, to perform basic setup, and to develop 
application code (.DMC programs) that is downloaded to the controller. At the Galil API level, Galil 
provides software tools (ActiveX and API functions) for advanced users, who wish to develop their 
own custom application programs to communicate with the controller. Custom application programs 
can utilize API function calls directly to our DLL’s, or use our ActiveX COM objects, which simplifies 
programming. At the driver level, we provide fundamental hardware interface information for users 
who desire to create their own drivers.
