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 lot to learn. 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 (limited support for Mac OS and GNU/Linux) | 1538 | 2012-04-09 |  |
| Labview 8.0 | The Labview Driver includes subVIs and type definitions that make it easy to start controlling Zaber devices with Labview. It also comes with several sample VIs that demonstrate how to use the library. | Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris, or GNU/Linux | 350 | 2009-3-30 |  |
| All | Zaber T-USB Adapter Drivers. Most new computers automatically load the T-USB drivers. If drivers do not install, click on the link to run a file that will automatically install the drivers for Windows. Drivers for other operating systems are also available here. 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. | Windows, Mac OS X, or GNU/Linux | 1640 | 2010-08-11 | |
| Scilab | One of our customers published a Scilab serial driver. We haven't used Scilab, but it looks well documented and clearly written. | Windows, Mac OS X, or GNU/Linux | 50 | 2012-11-01 | |
| Matlab | We don't have much experience with Matlab, but some customers have published MATLAB software to get you started. | Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris, or GNU/Linux | 1 | 2009-2-19 | |
| Python | We don't have much experience with Python, but we do have a few sample programs to get you started on our Python page. One of our customers also kindly created an open-source Zaber library for Python. | Windows, Mac OS X, Unix, or GNU/Linux | 50 | 2009-3-23 | |
