This version is Final Version and it contains following features:
- The PDC_Port.vi will be run continuously as usual, except the PDC_Process_Dlg.exe will pop up automatically, that is user does have to run it independently from the PDC_Process_Dlg.exe folder.
- Remember that the path of the PDC_Process_Dlg.exe must be correctly set! There is a box in the PDC_Port.vi that is the path of the PDC_Process_Dlg.exe and must be changed per its folder.(Attention!!)
- No changes have been done to PDC_Process_Dlg.exe or the Module1.dll, and decodInf.dll.
