STAND-ALONE PROGRAMMER AUTOMATED CONTROL
Users who wish to automate control of one or more Cyclone units have
several options available. This chapter presents a brief overview of those
options along with some additional information about each.
7.1
Cyclone Automated Control Package - Overview
Every Cyclone includes the Basic Edition of P&E’s Cyclone Automated
Control Package. P&E also offers advanced versions of the control package
which may be purchased separately.
7.1.1
Basic Edition
The Basic Edition, included with the Cyclone for ARM devices, gives users
two options for automating control of the Cyclone.
1. Cyclone Launch Application
The Cyclone Launch application allows control of
one or more
P&E
Cyclone units through the usage of simple
batch and script files
.
2. Dynamic Link Library (.DLL)
The .DLL in the Basic Edition allows custom software applications
to control
one
Cyclone unit.
Users wishing to use a .DLL to control more than one Cyclone or who would
prefer to use RS232/Ethernet protocols (e.g., in a non-Windows environment)
may purchase the appropriate advanced version of the Cyclone Automated
Control Package.
7.1.2
Professional Edition
The Professional Edition is available separately. It contains a dynamic link
library
(DLL)
which allows custom software applications to control
up to three
Cyclone units.
7.1.3
Enterprise Edition
The Enterprise Edition is available separately. It contains a dynamic link
library
(DLL)
and the ability to use custom software,
RS232 and Ethernet
communication protocols to control an
unlimited
number of Cyclones.

Automated Control Package may be found at www.pemicro.com.
