IBox Instructions
The most notable feature in DirectSOFT6 is IBox instructions. These fill-in-the-blank instructions are designed to make your programming experience quicker and easier than ever. IBox instructions are available in six categories.

• Memory
• Discrete Helper
• Analog Helpers
• Math
• Communications
• Counter I/O

PC System Compatibility
Following are the recommended system requirements for running DirectSOFT6 on a PC:

• 1 GHz CPU
• CD/DVD drive OR an Internet connection for loading software
• 512 MB RAM and 50 MB free hard disk space
• At least one unused serial communications port or USB port using our USB-RS232, USB-to-serial adapter and/or 10-Base-T or 10/100-Base-T Ethernet network card
• Color SVGA monitor (1024 x 768)
  
  
• Laptops: 
  DirectSOFT6 is perfectly suitable for use with laptop computers as long as they meet the requirements shown above. Most laptops can be ordered with a serial port as an option, which will allow a direct connection to our DirectLOGIC PLCs. If your laptop has a USB port, consider using our USB to serial adapter, USB-RS232. If your laptop has an Ethernet port and you are considering a DL05, DL06, DL205 or DL405 PLC, consider using the Hx-ECOM100 Ethernet Communications Module to connect your PC to the PLC (The D2-230 does not support the ECOM).
  
  
• Monitors: 
  Any size monitor will work, however, larger, higher resolution monitors enhance the features of DirectSOFT6.
