1. Overview
C-7000 SDK(Software Development Kit) is the tool to develop application to control SEKONIC
Spectromaster C-7000. This reference manual explains how to use C-7000 SDK.
1.1. About SDK
C-7000 SDK and sample program are developed using Visual Basic of Microsoft Visual Studio.
Assuming application developer uses it, this reference manual explains how to program based on
Microsoft Visual Studio. In case to use other program language, please also refer it.
The SDK is 32bit library, thus please develop program as 32bit application.
1.2. Supported OS
Windows 7 (32bit / 64bit)
Windows 8.1 (32bit / 64bit)
Windows 10 (32bit / 64bit)
1.3. Applied Models
C-7000
- FW V25 or higher is required to use all functions.
- Can be used with FW V20-24, but some functions are limited.
- Other models (C-700/C-700R/C-800) cannot be used.
1.4. Precaution in Use of Software
Please read carefully the license agreement on page 2 in the Software Guide for “C-700/7000
Utility) which is application software included in the package before downloading, installing or
using the C-7000 SDK and sample program (called hereunder “PROGRAM”). Downloading,
installing or using the PROGRAM shall be deemed your lawful acceptance of the terms and
conditions of license agreement. If you do not agree to them, do not download, install nor use the
PROGRAM.

2. Install / Uninstall
2.1. How to install
There is no installer for C-7000 SDK. Please copy below 2 files and put them in your any folder.
File
Content
C7000_SDK.dll
Library for interface
(Library to access from application)
SkCommIo.dll
Library for device communication control
(It’s for internal processing. Don’t use it directly from application.)
When you generate application using SDK, please add “C-7000_SDK.dill”from reference of
property of generated project. And, add “SkCommIo.dill”from project menu of [Project (P)]-[add
existing item], then make [CopyToOutputDirectory] always copy.
Set platform “x86”(32bit).
2.2. How to uninstall
Please delete the copied files.
2.3. How to install USB driver
In order to execute the application developed using the SDK, USB driver of C-7000 needs to be
installed. To install USB driver, please refer the C-7000 utility software guide.
