Galil's ActiveX Toolkit is ideal for the designer who is creating an operator interface for Galil controllers using Visual Basic or other software which uses ActiveX custom controls. An extensive set of pre-built objects pertaining to the Galil controller are loaded right into the Visual Basic environment saving the designer many hours of programming. Built-in dialog boxes are provided for quick selection of color, size, location and text. Plus, the toolkit is easy to use and provides context sensitive help, making it ideal for even the novice programmer. The toolkit will operate with any VBX/OCX ActiveX aware development platform. The most common environment is Visual Basic but Visual C++, Wonderware, LabView and HPVEE have been tested by Galil.

Prebuilt ActiveX Objects:

· Terminal for sending commands and editing programs

· Polling window for displaying responses from the controller such as position and speed

· Storage scope for plotting real time trajectories such as position versus time or X versus Y

· Send file for sending DMC files

· Continuous array capture for data collection and teach and playback

· Coordinate transformation

· Graphical display of 2-D motion path

· Diagnostics for capturing current configurations

· Display of input and output status

· vector motion tools for slow down around corners and tool offsets
