Overlord2 SOCKETset provides a method for using the extensive Overlord2 driver library available from paa. The simple configuration of Overlord2 SOCKETset allows calls from 3rd party software packages (POLARA, EVOware, etc).

Why pay for the development of new drivers/adapters when Overlord2 SOCKETset will give you a library of 27)+ drivers that can be incorporated into your existing applications ?

Method 1

• instead of calling a native command in the 3rd party software protocol (POLARA, EVOware, etc)
• call Overlord2 SOCKETset instead from the 3rd party software function that allows other software to be executed
• at run time, this new call will execute Overlord2 SOCKETset
• Overlord2 SOCKETset will run the required instrument function

Method 2

• Use the .NET framework in the 3rd party software to call Overlord2 SOCKETset as an object

• existing control software from a manufacture that allows shelling out via a command line (e.g. POLARA)

An example of how to use Overlord2 SOCKETset is to consider control an additional instrument that Tecan EVOware does not support and use Overlord2 SOCKETset instead. The example below shows how an Overlord2 SOCKETset action is inserted into Tecan EVOware and how this then calls Overlord2 SOCKETset at runtime.

• Don't pay for new instrument drivers/adapters to be developed, use what is already available from Overlord2
• Use any Overlord2 driver with a 3rd party software packages
• Ease of instrument control to an existing application
• Easy to set up and use
• Use all the feature set of Overlord2 to build intelligence into your new driver

If you need to control an instrument and your supplier does not support that instrument, use Overlord2 SOCKETset to make it happen !
