With the Java PakBus Software Development Kit (SDK), a software developer uses the JAVA programming language to write applications or applets that communicate directly with Campbell Scientific PakBus dataloggers. Since JAVA works with most operating systems, this SDK gives developers an additional option beyond the SDK products such as LoggerNet SDK and LoggerNet Server SDK currently available for use with Microsoft Windows. In addition, JAVA applets created with the JAVA PakBus SDK can reside in the datalogger and provide direct control and data access through a web browser interface.
Features
An application
built using the JAVA PakBus SDK will use PakBus protocol to communicate
directly with a datalogger in a PakBus network. JAVA applications and
applets using this SDK can be created for a PC or web application. JAVA
applets created to run in the datalogger will use the web server
feature from the TCP/IP stack of the CR800, CR1000 or CR3000 to make
the applet available to a web browser connection.
This JAVA PakBus SDK does not access or communicate with LoggerNet or
other software products. The application created with this SDK
communicates directly with the datalogger. The JAVA PakBus SDK is a
good option for developers not using Microsoft Windows, for developers
that want to handle communication links and access dataloggers directly
in a PakBus network, or for developers that want to create applets for
use in the datalogger or another web application.
