IS8000 Application Programming Interface
This software is an API (Application Programming Interface) that enables control of measurement instruments not supported by the IS8000 and acquisition of waveform data from them.
API Overview
IS8000 API refers to the following two items.
- A programming interface for expanding the features of the IS8000 software
- Software Development Kit (SDK)
By programming and creating user libraries using the API, you will be to acquire external data from any measuring instruments.
The API requires the purchase of IS8001 (IS8000 subscription license) or IS8002 (IS8000 perpetual license).
It cannot be used with the IS8000 simple version.
For details on API functions and how to use them, please refer to the help file (*.chm) in the Help folder in the SDK or the user's manual.
SDK Structure
The Software Development Kit (SDK) is used to create the IS8000 software user libraries. It contains the followings:
| Folder name | Description |
|---|---|
| Help | Explanation of API functions |
| Sample | A user library sample project an libraries for connecting DL850E |
| Lib | IS8000SDK.DLL (IS8000 API library) |
System requirement
The system requirements for developing user libraries are as follows:
| Requirement | Description |
|---|---|
| Development platform | Visual Studio 2017 or later |
| Programming language | C# |
| .NET Framework | 4.6 or later |
| Operating system | Windows 10 build 1902 or later |
| Assembly | Included as a 64-bit DLL |
The system requirements for using user libraries are essentially the same as those for running the IS8000 software. Better specifications may be necessary depending on the device or software you are connecting.
Note for sample files
By copying the entire SDK\Sample\Lib\DL850DAQServiceSampl folder, which is obtained when you unzip the downloaded zip file, to C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\YOKOGAWA\IS8000\Lib\, you will be able to connect to a DL850E(s) or DL850EV(s) and use the samples for performing data acquisition on the following voltage modules. (up to 16 channels)
Since these are samples, their operation is not guaranteed.
