Support / The Motion Control API
|
 PMC's Motion Control Application Programming Interface (MCAPI) is a suite of programming libraries, drivers, help files, sample programs (with source code), and utilities for C/C++/C#, Pascal, LabVIEW and Visual Basic
programmers. The MCAPI includes support for .NET framework and 64-bit Windows and Linux.
Our Dynamic-Link Libraries, consisting of over 140 functions, make it easy to write application programs for PMC's multi-axis motion control cards. Click the following links for more information:
To ensure an easy future upgrade path for our customers, we've designed the Motion Control API and related function libraries to be forward-compatible with all of our PC-based and stand-alone controllers. Furthermore, to allow more efficient use of host-based application programs and resources, the latest MCAPI drivers support PCI-bus interrupt-based communication, as well as support for 64 bit Windows XP and Linux.

Note: For information about drivers and programming support for real-time operating systems such as QNX, INtime, RTLinux or VX Works, please contact PMC. Support for these operating systems is available only to qualified OEM's.

| If you purchased your motion controller through one of our OEM partners, we strongly recommend that you consult with them before installing a newer version of the MCAPI. Many OEM's add customized features not included here, which are required for proper operation of their products. |
