Implementing PET-software development

Install necessary software and configure network when working outside of the VSSHP domain.

Configuring programs or new projects to use C#/.NET TPClib library

Using C#/.NET TPClib source codes (available in SVN depository, here):

• Download source codes from SVN
• Open your project with Visual Studio
• Choose Solution from top of the Solution Explorer
• Right-click it and select Add -> Existing Project...
• Choose your TPClib-folder and select the file TPClib.csproj and click Open
• Choose Reference-folder under your project in Solution Explorer
• Right-click and choose Add Reference
• Choose Projects-tab, select TPClib and click OK

Using just the TPClib.dll file (available in SVN, here):

• Download TPClib.dll and copy it to ...YourProject\bin\Debug -folder
• Open your project with Visual Studio
• Choose Reference-folder under your project in Solution Explorer
• Right-click it and choose Add Reference
• Choose Browse-tab, go to YourProject\bin\Debug -directory, choose TPClib.dll and click OK

Guides for implementing software

This section contains links to instructions of creating PET-software. Console programs and GUI programs have also their own example programs.

TPClib functionality can be used directly in PowerShell scripts, and our plan is to, at least partially, to replace PowerShell scripts for separate C# executables.

SW development using C and TPC C libraries

Lots of programs that are currently in use in TPC have been developed using C language and apply TPC C libraries. If necessary, here are the instructions on setting up the C programming environment.
