By purchasing a single development site license you may install the software and develop your application on a single PC and distribute it with your compiled application program royalty free an unlimited number of times. When used in a Microsoft Excel, Word, PowerPoint or other noncompiling end-user application program where full development capabilities are always present, a separate license file must be purchased and installed on each computer that the end-user application program is installed and running on. Please see the EULA included with the demo for complete licensing information.

  • Any container application that can embed ActiveX controls can use the AMXX software packages
  • At design time, you can access your Modbus device from the software’s test property page
  • Property page device access makes start-up and troubleshooting a snap – all without writing a single line of code
  • Talking to a Modbus slave is as simple as calling a function with the necessary arguments
  • The software automatically builds the command, appends a CRC, sends the request over the network, and validates the response
  •  Your program just reads and writes simple 16-bit data values
  • ActiveX controls include a help file and examples for Excel, Visual Basic, C
  • .NET controls include a help file and examples for Visual Basic, C#, and Managed C
