ICS provides interactive keyboard control programs which enable engineers to easily communicate with and control instruments and interfaces without having to write a program. ICS's interactive keyboard programs are available for the following communication media:
All keyboard programs are downloaded as a .zip file. The user may need WINZIP or a similar utility to unzip the files. Most programs include the source files so they can be used as examples for your own programs. System RequirementsVB6 keyboard programs run on Windows 2K/XP. The .exe files were generated with Visual Basic 6. If you do not have Microsoft's Visual Studio 6 or later development system, click the link to download the VB6_Runtime_Files VB.NET keyboard programs are for Windows 7 thru 10 and require Microsoft's .NET Framework 4.0 or later to run. Use Windows update to get the latest .NET Framework files. |
