Surgical Bed Testing

The Lon device has a PCLTA-21 Network Adapter, which supports only Windows XP and Windows7 but not Windows 10. Because of the incompatibility of the PCLTA card with Windows 10 we had to build a Client- Server Application to access the Neuron IDs from Windows 10.

Problem Statement

Migrate the Test software from WindowsXP to Windows 10(64-bit).
Communicate with the PCLTA-21 and extract the NueronIds.
Use of LONWorks LNS_DDE server on Windows 10.
