Basic Software

MTL32 basic controller software is a unified platform on which single-station single-actuator, single-station multi-actuator, multi-station single-actuator or multi-station multi-actuator test systems can be run.

The same software is used for any system using 2370 Series 32-bit controllers. It allows multiple custom applications (instances) to get connected through the Global Data Sharing (GDS) concept.
