Interfaces
The Deva037 interface is supplied with a software support USB stick containing support for
the Deva037 encoder interface,
along with support and information for many of Deva’s other
products.
The USB stick includes a number of software items which may be used with Deva037.
In addition to the native drivers (including Deva
’s
proprietary Dynamic Link Library (DLL)
called Enclib), the USB stick also contains, for CMM applications, DevaCMMCtrl, which may
be installed to allow users to program and customise their machine to their specific
requirements.
Enclib is the native interface should the user wish to develop bespoke software, whereas
DevaCMMCtrl provide interfaces to many existing software packages.
For use of Enclib and DevaCMMCtrl, please refer to the Enclib SDK and/or DevaCMMCtrl SDK
