DMIS Development Toolkits
 
DOT Logo DMIS Object Technology™ (or more simply, DOT™) software toolkits are designed to slice years off the development of DMIS Part 1 and Part 2-compliant applications, while providing an unprecedented level of integration with inspection equipment. At the heart of the system is a powerful DMIS Part 1 execution engine, featuring native support for loading, running, and editing DMIS programs. The built-in DMIS Part 2 support provides a flexible, open architecture interface between DMIS and third party CAD, metrology and quality applications; while loadable Part 2 equipment plug-ins make it straightforward to run an identical environment across different machine types.

All DOT toolkits are built around the DOT Kernel, with its rich support for the DMIS Part 1 standard; and each offers full on-line access to inspection data and live control of measurement equipment via the DMIS Part 2 standard. The supplied libraries and sample code facilitate development of DOT application add-ons, and aid in understanding useful ways to work with the DOT environment.


 
  bullet2.gif PDK - Professional Development Kit
Intended for equipment OEMs and third party developers who are manufacturing or connecting to DMIS Part 2 based inspection equipment or simulators, the DOT PDK supplies software tools for creating powerful DMIS Part 2 add-on applications, and for interfacing to inspection equipment.

The DOT PDK is available in different editions, each targeting different business requirements at different price points.

bullet3.gif OEM Edition
Designed for companies needing a comprehensive toolkit for developing a customized CMM package for their equipment. The DOT PDK - OEM Edition provides full source code for the application husk and for the equipment plug-in, including all libraries. This provides the richest software toolkit for application development, for equipment integration, and for offline simulation.

bullet3.gif Application Edition
Designed for general metrology application programming, including development of offline simulation packages, import of DMIS input files, and the integration of CAD, reporting, analysis, and other third party applications. The DOT PDK - Application Edition provides compiled support for the application husk and for equipment operations, along with sample source code. This provides a solid baseline for DMIS application development and integration, for simulation of DMIS program execution, and for extraction of inspection information from DMIS programs.

bullet3.gif Equipment Edition
Designed for equipment controller OEM's and third party integrators. The DOT PDK - Equipment Edition provides full source code for the equipment plug-in, including all libraries. This provides an effective environment for DMIS equipment integration.

bullet2.gif SDK - Software Development Kit
Intended for lowering barriers of entry for small companies, the DOT SDK provides a free entry-level package with basic capabilities that can be used for DMIS application development and equipment integration.
