A shot in the dark maybe...
But a couple of years back I ported the existing server code into a
DLL where the main functionality was accessible in order for a
university customer to be able to use it for their research project
using their own code. The DLL is usable both from Delphi and Visual
Basic so they can throw together their own processing and use the DLL
to access the instrument easily.

So I thought that maybe I could do the same here and have something
that a main program created natively in Python for instance could use.

But I agree it would be better to create a full FPC program instead
using the proper selection of units from the DLL project for instance.
