If you need an additional function, you can develop it in x4Trace. x4Trace can run plugins on the server and client sides. Developing a plugin is simple; you just have to inherit from a plugin. A Visual Studio license is needed to develop and debug a server or desktop plugin. There are samples included in the server installer packet. In a plugin, you can use all of x4Trace’s existing features. You can access all of the code of the server and client via the x4Trace interface.
A typical plugin is the ERP communication plugin. But do not mix the plugin, the line module, and the drivers. To attach production hardware, use the line module’s drivers. The plugins are used to communicate with an external system, create a new resource designer, create a new display plugin, or add something you need to the x4Trace system.
