thermoIMAGER TIM

A 9 A Brief Overview to DLL Communication (IPC)

The communication to the process imager device is handled by the thermoIMAGER TIM Connect software

(Imager.exe) only. This communication is made possible by a dll library (imager IPC2.DLL). The DLL can be

dynamically linked into the secondary application, or it can be done static by a lib file too.

Both components are designed for Windows XP/Vista/7 only. The application must support call-back

func-

tions.

The ImagerIPC.dll will export a bunch of functions that are responsible for initiating the communication, re-

trieving data and setting some control parameters.

The description of the init procedure as well as the necessary command list you will find on the CD

provided.

A 10 thermoIMAGER TIM Connect Resource Translator

A 10.1 Introduction

thermoIMAGER TIM Connect is a .Net Application. Therefore it is ready for localization. Localization as a

Microsoft idiom means the complete adaption of resources to a given culture. If you want to learn more about

the internationalization topics please consult Microsoft’s developer documentation

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb688096.aspx.

If needed the localization process can be very detailed. Also the resizing of buttons or other visible resources

and the support of right-to-left languages is supported. This can be a huge effort and should be done by

experts who have the appropriate tools. To limit this effort and to enable anybody to translate the resources of

the TIM Connect application

Micro-Epsilon has developed the small tool Resource Translator. This tool helps to translate any visible

text within the thermoIMAGER TIM Connect application.

You will find a detailed tutorial on the CD provided.
