I understand that we can use RIS to acces PickMaster from remote station.
Now,I would like to create a few button (with Visual C++/VBA) to open/close PickMaster projects locally. Instead of use remote station, I would like to create simply a few buttons on the PickMaster’s computer.
Example: By clicking one button, I’m able to close existing project and open project A. By clicking another button, I’m able to open project B.
This is correct, RIS can be used to control PickMaster from a remote station.
As outlined in user’s guide several different communications media can be used, among these TCP/IP. By using IP address 127.0.0.1 in the RIS client you will address the loopback interface on the PickMaster computer (assuming the client is running on the very same computer). This would probably be the easiest way to achieve the function you requested.
A full functional operator panel implemented in Visual Basic is provided as-is (no support). Please refer to the PickMaster/Code Examples/OperatorPanel on the PickMaster 2.3x CD.
