Software Development Kit
The Gocator Software Development Kit (SDK) includes open-source software libraries and
documentation that can be used to programmatically access and control Gocator sensors.
The latest version of the SDK can be downloaded from the downloads section, under the support tab, on
the LMI Technologies website:
http://www.lmi3D.com
The following components are included in the SDK.
Component Description
Gocator API Gocator API is a C language library that provides support for the commands and data
formats used with Gocator senso
rs
.
Gocator Console Gocator Console is a small console-based application that demonstrates the use of
Gocator API.
A pre-built DLL is provided to support 32-bit Windows XP (SP3+) and 32-bit Windows 7. Projects and
makefiles are included to support other editions of Windows and Linux.
Example: Configuring and starting a sensor with the Gocator API
#include <Go2.h>
void main()
{
Go2System system = 0;
//Open the Go2 library.
Go2Api_Initialize();
//Construct a Gocator 2000 system object.
Go2System_Construct(&system);
//Connect to default sensor IP address, with default password (blank).
Go2System_Connect(system, GO2_DEFAULT_IP_ADDRESS, GO2_USER_ADMIN, “”);
//Reconfigure system to use time-based triggering.
Go2System_SetTriggerSource(system, GO2_TRIGGER_SOURCE_TIME);
//Send the system a “Start” command.
Go2System_Start(system);
//Free the system object.
Go2System_Destroy(system);
//Close the Go2 library.
Go2Api_Terminate();
}
