Description
===========
    The SeaMAX Suite is a collection of configuration/diagnostic utilities and software 
    libraries that enable rapid application development. The SeaMAX API, included in 
    the SeaMAX Suite, provides a common application interface for Sealevel SeaI/O, eI/O
    and SeaDAC data acquisition modules. SeaMAX is designed to simplify application 
    development by requiring little knowledge of the underlying communication protocols 
    of these devices and eliminating the need for low-level programming. SeaMAX is 
    available in an unmanaged library and a wrapper library that provides an interface 
    to the API from managed code.
