The Pressure Mapping Software Development Kit (SDK) is an Application Programming Interface (API) that enables users to achieve the highest performance with Tekscan’s pressure mapping software.
The developer can program an application that both controls and interfaces with Tekscan scanning electronics. Tekscan's Pressure Mapping SDK utilizes the Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL) which are responsible for data acquisition (DAQ) and analysis. DLLs are compatible with Windows XP onwards, and work with any language that can use .NET assemblies.
The Pressure Mapping SDK supports sample code for use in external applications, such as LabVIEW, VB, C#, and MATLAB. This has many benefits for the user, such as increasing the communication with Tekscan DAQ electronics to receive data, giving users the ability to control acquisition parameters when recording and saving data and the ability to read data from other saved work.
The Pressure Mapping Software Development Kit (SDK) is the perfect partner for users working in areas that require monitoring or repeated tests, such as OEM product integration, laboratory research and manufacturing (Quality Control, Test, Machine Setup).
