Appendix D – Interprocess communication (IPC)
of the Optris PI Connect Software
The communication to the process imager device is handled by the Optris PI Connect software (Imager.exe)
only. Optris supplies a dynamic link library (ImagerIPC.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.
Both Imager.exe and ImagerIPC.dll are designed for Windows XP/Vista only. The application must support call-
back functions.
The ImagerIPC.dll will export a bunch of functions that are responsible for initiating the communication,
retrieving data and setting some control parameters.
