SDK products simplify the task of application development tremendously by
encapsulating complexities inherent in client-server communications.

1.3 Overview of Current SDK Products

Campbell Scientific offers several different SDK products. Each SDK product
provides different advantages depending on the specific needs of the developer.

1.3.1 Current SDK Products

1.3.1.1 LoggerNet SDK

This software development kit contains six ActiveX controls and a limited
version of the LoggerNet server DLL. A developer can use this SDK to create
applications that remotely access an existing LoggerNet server installation;
however, the included LoggerNet server direct DLL (CORALIB3D.DLL) can
only be loaded and accessed locally.

Installation of this SDK includes source code of examples written in Delphi
6.0, Visual Basic 6.0, and Visual C++ 8.0 MFC that will start the
CORALIB3D.DLL and use the other SDK controls. The install also includes
documentation for developing applications using the methods and functions of
the included SDK controls. Please note that the CORALIB3D.DLL included
in this SDK will only communicate with a single datalogger through a direct
connection using RS-232 or an IP Port and will not allow remote client
connections.
