Most of our embedded customers choose scriptable executables for their modularity and rapid deployment.  See Tech Note 0015 for techniques used to embed ExpeDat.

Embedded Products

Integrate the performance advantages of MTP/IP into your device, service, or software.  We offer several choices ranging from scriptable executables to detailed C language APIs.  Below is a high-level overview of our embedding and integration options.  For a more technical analysis of MTP/IP integration strategies, see Tech Note 0017.

Scriptable Executables

All of our software is available as light-weight command-line executable.  They are perfect for use in batch, PERL, and Visual Basic scripts, as well as application "exec" call-outs.  Embedding an executable involves the least integration effort while providing all of the functionality of the product.

For example, the ExpeDat client "movedat" uses the same basic syntax as the SSH scp command and provides parseable output and detailed exit codes for progress and result tracking.  DEI Tech Note 0015 explains the ten most common features and methods for integrating ExpeDat with other applications.  If you are already calling out to scp or ftp, you may be able to adopt ExpeDat by changing as little as one line of code.

C Library Development Kits

You can build your own applications using the same programming interfaces that we use.  All of the MTP/IP software development kits are distributed as static C libraries, for integration into any programming environment.  Interfaces range from highly abstract "fire and forget", to low-level client-server development models.

All of our interfaces provide detailed performance and reliability reporting, as well as performance tuning options.  Source code integration gives you maximum flexibility and control with robust and well-documented interfaces.  See our MTP/IP development kits page for details.

Platform Porting

Our software runs on a wide variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and most other unix-like operating systems.  See Tech Note 0004 for a complete list of currently supported platforms.  We can often port to a new unix-like system within days of receiving sample hardware.

Flexible Licensing Models

We recognize that your business model is closely tied to the architecture of your products.  That is why we are open to a variety of licensing models for all embedded deployments of MTP/IP products.  Contact a sales representative to discuss your needs.
