PeCon Series 2000 USB communication


Dri­vers and SDK for com­mu­ni­ca­tion with Series 2000 controllers

Description

All series 2000 con­trollers can be fully con­trolled via USB to inte­grate incu­ba­tion con­trol and mon­i­tor­ing into your micros­cope con­trol envi­ron­ment. You just need to install the dri­ver and use our SDK, that is cur­rent­ly avail­able for easy use with­in the free script­ing soft­ware AutoIt3.

Func­tions cur­rent­ly avail­able in SDK:

  • Access mul­ti­ple con­trollers simultaneously
  • Get actu­al val­ues from all channels
  • Set set­point val­ues for all channels
  • Switch on/off heat­ing for all chan­nels (loop control)
  • Get name of con­fig­ured com­po­nent for each channel
  • Func­tion to define set­point value ramps (e.g. change tem­per­a­ture set­point from 37.0°C to 40.0°C con­tin­u­ous­ly with­in 30 min)

The AutoIt3 SDK is build on our gen­er­al dynam­ic link library PDL2000.dll and brings an AutoIt3- func­tion library that defines high­er level func­tions which are much eas­i­er to use for a script­ing user, than the point­er based PDL2000.dll func­tions. How­ev­er, on spe­cial request it is pos­si­ble to get infor­ma­tion about the under­ly­ing PDL2000.dll to inte­grate incu­ba­tion con­trol into pro­gram­ming lan­guages like C# or C++, for example.
