Campbell Scientific LoggerNet-SDK Software Development Kit - Manual (Page 14)

Section 1. LoggerNet SDK Overview
The C#.NET and VB.NET example code targets the x86
compilation platform to facilitate proper functionality on 64-bit
versions of Windows
® . Any new projects created on 64-bit
platforms should use this compiler directive, since the ActiveX ®
controls in the SDK must run in a 32-bit process on 64-bit
machines to work properly.
NOTE
1.3 Included Components
1.3.1 Files Included in the LoggerNet SDK
The files included with the LoggerNet SDK installation are: ActiveX SDK
controls, a limited LoggerNet server DLL, working examples for several
development languages, licensing information, and the SDK Beginner's Guide
and Programmer's Reference. Please note that although simple examples are
provide for reference, the SDK does not contain a complete user interface
software package for creating connections and manipulating data within
datalogger networks. The SDK merely provides all the controls necessary for
development of the user interface software.
1.3.1.1 ActiveX® Controls (DLLs)
The six included ActiveX controls are DLL files that are registered and must
be added to your project. For help adding these controls to your project, see
the next section "Adding the Controls to a Project".
1.3.1.2 Limited LoggerNet Server (CORALIB3D.DLL)
The limited LoggerNet server DLL available in the installed Controls folder
can be started, stopped, and accessed with the included ActiveX Controls. This
DLL does not need to be registered but must be placed in the application
folder, in the PATH environmental variable, or in the Windows system
directory.
The limited LoggerNet server only allows direct RS232 or IP port connections
to a single datalogger. For telecommunication functionality greater than this,
please use the LoggerNet Server SDK.
1.3.1.3 Manuals
The SDK Beginner’s Guide contains information comparing available
Campbell Scientific SDK products. The LoggerNet SDK Programmer’s
Reference contains detailed information regarding the use of the LoggerNet
SDK. Both manuals are in PDF format.
1.3.1.4 Example Projects
Example projects are included with the SDK. These projects collectively use
all of the controls to demonstrate simple functionality. The example projects
have been written in various development environments.
