Active-X is a drop-in component that gives programmers on various PC development systems similar abilities and controls to communicate with other applications and development programs being used.
	Taking OLE and other custom controls to their next step.
	The purpose of Active-X is to merge the desktop with the Internet Seamlessly.
	Hundreds of Controls for User and Programmer Use.

Active-X Control for Industrial Automation:

	Active-X Controls can be added to many programs : Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), .NET, Delphi PL, Visual C++ which allow programmers to customize HMI, DBM, and Web Browsers.
	Windows-based HMI software (Wonderware).
	Windows-based SCADA (Simplicity).
	Process Data Collection/Controls for Manufacturing and Q.C. Engineers.

DVT SID Acitve-X Control:

	Provides a link between the DVT SmartImage Sensor and an application running on the PC.
	It is designed to show sampled images and inspection data from the SmartImage Sensor for monitoring of the inspection process. Customized Display.
	The images and commands are transferred via Serial or Ethernet TCP/IP connection.
	The DVT SID control is based on the MS Winsock control for TCP-IP data sharing.
	Vital Part of the SmartFactory Concept.
	Sharing of Plant Level Process Data from the SmartImage Sensor to the company Information Medium.
	Getting out of the FrameWork Container.
	Strong feature that differentiates DVT in the marketplace.
	The A-X control takes care of the low-level communications, parsing of data and displaying of images.
	Several display options are offered for various image sizes, orientations and mirroring. In addition, the DVTSID control provides the ability to save images to the PC.
	The DVT SID A-X control includes Properties, Methods, and Events. The VBA must provide code, which sets the properties, executes the methods and responds to events.

An application created with DVT SID Active-X Control (FrameWork not needed to run):

DVT SID Control Version 1.1

What's new in Version 1.1?

	Support for partial imaging was added. The control can now handle cases when the SoftSensor is set to acquire only a portion of the image. The size of the display area does not change to make the partial acquisition evident. This is consistent with Framework’s user interface.
	Support for displaying SoftSensor marking was added. This is done through the Marking Property.
	A method for changing the Sync source or triggering method was added (SendTriggerMode()). The corresponding confirmation events OnTriggerModeAck() and OnTriggerModeNak() were also added.
	A method for starting/stopping inspections was added (SendInspectMode()). The corresponding confirmation events OnInspectModeAck() and OnInspectModeNak() were also added.
	A method for selecting products was added (SendProductSelect()). The corresponding confirmation events OnProductSelectAck() and OnProductSelectNak() were also added.
	A method for querying the SoftSensor to obtain a list of products was added (SendProductQuery()). The corresponding confirmation and feedback events OnProductQueryAck() and OnProductQueryNak() were also added.
	A reported problem with the bitmap header of saved images, which prevented some imaging applications from opening them, was fixed.
