1.3.1.2 LoggerNet Server SDK

This software development kit contains six ActiveX controls and the
LoggerNet server DLL (CORALIB3.DLL). A developer can use this SDK to
create applications that can remotely connect to an existing LoggerNet
installation or the included LoggerNet server DLL.

Installation of this SDK includes source code of examples in Delphi 6.0, Visual
Basic 6.0, and Visual C++ 8.0 MFC that start the LoggerNet server and use the
included SDK controls. The install also includes documentation for
developing applications that can load and manage the LoggerNet server, edit
the network map, and get data via the LoggerNet server. The included
LoggerNet server DLL allows remote client connections and includes
everything necessary to communicate with dataloggers independent of any
other LoggerNet installation.

1.3.1.3 PC9000 SDK

This software development kit contains the PC9000 communication DLL and
drivers needed to facilitate connections to CR9000(X) and CR5000
dataloggers. A developer can use this SDK to quickly create applications that
will only need to communicate one at a time to either a CR9000(X) or a
CR5000 datalogger.

Installation of this SDK includes source code of an example in Visual Basic 6.0
of how to build an executable that can load and manage the PC9000 DLL.
Also included in the installation is documentation for developing applications
using the SDK.

1.3.1.4 BMP5 Direct SDK

This software development kit is for developers that want a simple way to
create an application that communicates with any PakBus datalogger using
RS-232 or an intermediate communication that is transparent to RS-232 such
as RF400 radios. The application created using the BMP5 Direct SDK will
only be able to communicate with one datalogger at a time.

Starting with version 2.0, the BMP5 Direct SDK provides the developer access
to a communications engine, CORALIB3D.DLL, through the SimplePB.DLL
wrapper. The BMP5 Direct SDK install includes examples with source code
along with documentation describing how to use the SimplePB.DLL.

Previous versions of the BMP5 Direct SDK used the PakBusDLL.DLL as the
communication engine. The SimplePB.DLL commands remain the same.
Only the communication engine used by the SimplePB.DLL has changed in
version 2.0 of this SDK.
