Cafe Duet® NDT-CAFEDUET

Cafe Duet® is an extension of the powerful NetLinx® language for programming AMX Control Systems. Duet meets the challenges of an ever-changing control industry by expanding the capabilities of existing NetLinx systems using the Java programming language. Program in the NetLinx language, program in the Java language, or, do a little of both-within the same control system. NetLinx and Java technologies operate in perfect harmony.


Duet module development is fast and efficient within the Cafe Duet Integrated Development Environment (IDE) using the Duet Software Development Kit (SDK). The Duet SDK includes a built-in module wizard with device-specific Application Program Interfaces (APIs) to streamline module creation. Additionally, you can leverage the CDC/Foundation Class Library of over 750 high-level native Java language functions to simplify the programming of today's most complex applications and interface modules.

Cafe Duet is delivered on a CD. Simply follow the instruction guide included with the CD to install the application.
