The Igor XOP Toolkit allows programmers to create XOPs (plug-ins) for Igor using C and C++. It is a separate product available for purchase from WaveMetrics.
WaveMetrics is now shipping two versions of the XOP Toolkit - version 7.02 and version 8.00. The reason for two versions has to do with the support for long object names added in Igor Pro 8.
Use XOP Toolkit 7 if your XOP must run with Igor Pro 6 or Igor Pro 7, or if you are updating an older XOP that was never updated using XOP Toolkit 7.01 or later, or if you have not yet created a 64-bit version of your XOP.
Use XOP Toolkit 8 if you are writing a new XOP to target Igor Pro 8 or later, or if you are updating an XOP that was already updated using XOP Toolkit 7.01 or later to target Igor Pro 8 or later.

If you have an XOP Toolkit license, the new versions are free. Contact WaveMetrics sales to get download instructions.
