Torridon API
Product Description
Many of our customers have their own automation architecture (Often based on Perl) which can easily run Torrdion modules. For those who dont, or who want an easy graphical interface, we have created a full API.
Written in C#, the API can control Torridon modules on Serial, USB or Telnet. It is provided free of charge as a set of DLLs. Source code can also be provided.
The API is written in two layers. The first provides simple, terminal command access to a module. The second uses a seperate config file that describes the functions of a module, the API can then generate a class instance for that specific module. This allows rapid code development without the need to understand the command structure.
For a download package, please contact Quarch directly.
For customers that require their software to run on Linux as well as Windows, we are currently developing a Java API, a version is scheduled for release in early 2012.
