DESCRIPTION
The Entivity DataPack is a low-cost solution for systems that do not need all the power that the full packaged controls product has to offer. It allows stand-alone systems to retrieve real-time data from a runtime system. The runtime system can be running either Think & Do Live! or Entivity Studio on a variety of platforms such as Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows NT Embedded. Additionally the DataPack can connect to an Entivity WinPLC or an Intelligent Instrumentation EDAS CE powered by Windows CE. The methods of data retrieval are:

• Standard OPC Interface - Use our OPC Server to connect Windows CE systems to any OPC standard client
• Support for DDE - DDE clients, such as Excel are able to share data in Entivity's Runtime Engine
• Custom OCX Component - Use Ntag OCX in Visual Basic or Visual C++ to read/write data in the Entivity Runtime
• COM/DCOM Interface - Provides developers a method for creating a custom program in Visual Basic or Visual C++ that can read/write data and control the Entivity Runtime
• CE Watch - Allows users to monitor CE Runtimes, download/upload programs to/from the CE Runtime, and control program execution.

The Entivity DataPack is sold as a site-licensed product and is redistributable. There isn't any ESS associated with the product, so if a new version comes out, then a new purchase is required.
