Custom Software Development Services

Some applications cannot be satisfied by the programs below. The source code is provided and generally adding new functionality to these programs to satisfy your application requirements is not difficult. However, if you are not a programmer or are not familiar with Zaber products it can be a steep learning curve. Recognizing this, we are pleased to offer custom software development services. Simply let us know what you want to do, no matter how trivial or complex, and we'll be happy to give you an estimate. Contact us for more information.

Software

Much of the software below comes as zip compressed files. If your operating system doesn't include an unzip utility, you'll have to download one. 7-zip is one that we use, and it's free. All the sample applications can be downloaded by clicking on the filename in the description columns below. The source code comes with each download so you can view and modify it for your own applications if you wish. All zip files include a readme.txt file with further installation instructions.

Microsoft .NET 3.5	The Zaber Console is a full-featured application that lets you send commands to your Zaber devices, adjust their settings, and create scripts to automate your application. This is our main software application and we recommend it to anyone who isn't planning on programming in one of the languages below. Even customers who are planning to write their own software may find it useful for testing and prototyping.	Windows XP/Vista/2003/2008	1538	2009-1-12

All	Zaber_Serial_Adapter_Drivers.zip This file contains the device drivers that must be installed in order to use our T-USB USB to Serial Adapter on any Windows, GNU/Linux, or Mac computer. These drivers are only required if you are connecting Zaber devices to a USB port. If you are connecting directly to an RS232 serial port, you do not require a T-USB serial adapter and therefore do not need to install the T-USB drivers.
