2- and 3--Channel Brushless DC Servo Controller
The APT ActiveX Controls collection provides a rich set of graphical user panels and
programmable interfaces allowing users and client application developers to interact
seamlessly with the APT hardware. Each of the APT controllers has an associated
ActiveX Control and these are described fully in system online help or the handbooks
associated with the controllers. Note that the APTUser and APTConfig utilities take
advantage of and are built on top of the powerful functionality provided by the APT
ActiveX Server (as shown in Fig. 2.2).

programmers guide and reference material on using the APT ActiveX Controls

samples and coding hints and tips, together with handbooks for all the APT
controllers.
