Introduction to Galil Design Kit
Galil Design Kit, or GDK, is Galil Motion Control's application development environment. Built on the efficient and powerful gclib programming API, communication with Galil motion controllers and PLCs is simple and effective. GDK's modular design allows communication with one or many controllers using a full featured tool set. In this video we will be covering the software's features and tools at a general, introductory level, while future videos will cover the individual tools in greater detail.
