Introducing
ActiveX Mx4 xp and 7
Take the bullet train to 32-bit application development with ActiveX
Mx4 on Visual Basic, C, and Visual C++. With our adjustable
ActiveX Mx4 control (also referred to as an OLE
or OCX control), you can create applications that communicate
with all DSP Control Group control products. All communications to Mx4
are easily achieved with virtually no programming effort, allowing you
to concentrate on your application.
What
Is ActiveX Mx4 95/NT?
This software is a communication and building block library designed to
provide efficient communication and application development to all members
of the Mx4 motion computer control family. Unlike other forms of software
libraries, which often require extensive programming time, OCX control
is a new form of library functions that has revolutionized Windows programming.
Along with the communication functionality, ActiveX Mx4 includes application
building blocks including state variable and input/output monitoring as
well as controller interrupt programming. In conjunction with the Mx4
DLL, the user has access to the complete range of Mx4 functionality, including
program and data download utilities and real-time commands.
What
Is An ActiveX/OCX Control?
The OCX controls are the latest addition to Microsofts OLE (Object
Linking and Embedding) family, providing an astonishing compatibility
to almost any development application software. The OCX controls, also
referred to as reusable components, give you the convenient way to incorporate
advanced functionality into your applications with minimum programming
effort.
You
Can Use ActiveX Mx4 With
ActiveX Mx4 can be used with the 32-bit version of Visual Basic version
4.0 or greater, Visual C++ version 4.0 or greater, and just about any
development package that supports OCX controls. In our documents, most
of the examples and descriptions will be on Visual Basic, but they apply
equally to Visual C++. Windows NT and Windows 95 are both supported.
What
Built In Functions Does ActiveX Mx4 Have?
With ActiveX Mx4 and the Mx4 DLL, we have added many useful functions
that enhance your capabilities. A partial listing of commonly used functions
(or, more technically speaking, methods) include:
- State
Variable Monitoring
- Input/Output
Monitoring
- Interrupt

ActiveX
Mx4 is one of several special development tools which are aimed at making
Mx4 "Human-Machine Interface" (HMI) applications easier to create
than ever before. If you are using Visual Basic or C++ to create
an Mx4 HMI, ActiveX Mx4 and the Mx4 DLL will put you on the fast track
to application development. In less than a few minutes, you can have a
Visual Basic program running and communicating with Mx4.
