Software/Zaber Console/Plug Ins

The Zaber Console has a plug in feature that lets you add new tabs with new features. You can learn to write your own plug ins by downloading the source code. Zaber also publishes some plug ins, and they are listed on this page.

Installing a plug in

• Install Zaber Console according to the instructions and make sure that the standard features are working.
• Go to the advanced tab and click the Set Plug-In Folder... button. Create a new folder that will hold all your plug ins. Create it somewhere on your hard drive or a network drive. Name it something like "Zaber Console Plug Ins".
• Download the plug in and save it in the plug-ins folder you just created. See the sections below for links to download each plug in.
• Exit the Zaber Console and run it again. On the advanced tab, the list of tabs should now include the new plug in. Turn on the check box next to it, and a new tab should appear.
• It's now installed. Click on the tab to try it out.
