We recently purchased a Cyclone FX but it won't arrive for another week. I have an old Cyclone_ACP. Is there any way for me to begin my development work with the automation DLL with this ACP until my FX unit arrives? Can I get a temporary license or something?
Also, I'm curious about the license required to use the external memory card to store images. Is this license tied to the hardware? Can it be used on multiple Cyclones? How much does it cost?
Greetings,
Unfortunately no we do not have temporary licenses. Once a license is activated, it is permanently stored inside. Even with just the Cyclone ACP you should be able to work with the standard features of the DLL.
The Cyclone Control Suite provides the following Standard Features in the SDK, Console, and GUI control application for all Cyclones (no license required):
Control a single Cyclone via USB, Serial, or Ethernet connections
Select and Launch Images by Name or Enumeration
Add/Remove/Update a single image in the Cyclone
Add/Remove/Update multiple images (GUI)
Recover programming result and descriptive error information
Use automatically counting local (Cyclone stored) serial numbers
Read and write Cyclone properties
Read image and target properties
Remote Display Access (GUI)
Once you get your Cyclone FX, you can do the following extra features:
Simultaneously (Gang) Control of multiple Cyclones via the USB, Serial, or Ethernet connections
Add/Remove/Update many images in the Cyclone (Console, SDK, GUI)
Program (and Read) Dynamic Data in addition to fixed image data
Specify Overlay Program Data
Compare images against a SAP file

Is there a 64-bit Python dll?

Greetings,
If you installed the Cyclone software package, you will see the Python example already in there.
We have plans to release 64-bit DLLs. I am waiting on the okay signal before we add it to the cyclone software installer.
