bop ActiveX Control   


bop ActiveX Control

    Bop is a software component to develop GEM (SEMI E30) compliant system software. Bop is intended for developing tool-side software.
    If you want to develop host-side software or protocol converter (pro-con), it is recommended to use Swing.

  • Amazingly inexpensive - Starting at US$ 1,000 without initial cost
    Almost all the GEM software supplier companies request you to pay multi-ten thousand dollers fee called "development license" before you start development. This is, for example, similar to " security deposit " when you rent an apartment, and usually landlord never return back after the contract is over. Another way to suck you money is " annual support contract ". Such companies will charge you money all the time.

    We never request such kind of additional fees. Support for your questions and provide version-ups for free of charge.

    In addition, other companies don't disclose retail price. We are explicitly showing our pricing on the web site. You do't have to get a quote separately. It is obvious how much discount you can get by ordering multiple licenses.

    Price - bop
    # of Order @ Unit Price
    1 US$ 1,990
    2~10 US$ 1,800
    11~50 US$ 1,600
    51~80 US$ 1,400
    81~ US$ 1,000
  • Any development language - VC++, VB, Visual Studio 2008

    GW-Associates product doesn't support Visual Basic, and WinSECS doesn't support C/C++ language. Bop supports any language which can work with ActiveX control such as Microsoft Visual C++, Visual Basic, C#, Borland C++ Builder, Delphi. Whatever development environment you can choose. Of course, Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 is OK.

    Either English or Japanese manual is available for bop.

  • Free evaluation version - Try before buying

    You can download evaluation version at any time from our web site. Please try how good bop works. Of course, it is $0 (free). You can spend as much time as you want before buying product.

  • Also Swing is available

    You can also access all the features of Swing using bop dongle key.

  • Quick development - Write in SML
    If development takes long time, human resource expense costs more even though the GEM product is very cheap. Bop has SML dynamic compiler engine inside, and user can describe message very simply. If number of lines in source code becomes shorter, development time will be also shorter and less chance of bug.

    Let't see how simple bop is. This time I take Visual Basic language.

    Visual Basic

    Private Sub Placed_Click()
      Bop1.VIDValue(40) = "CarrierID#001"
      Bop1.InvokeEvent 200
    End Sub


    Above only 2-line application sets string "CarrierID#001" to VID 40 and send CEID 200 event to host. You don't have to check type of VID, CEID is enabled, structure of report and association. This is super intuitive. You don't need my explanation.
