+# ADS
+
+This is a Beckhoff ADS implementation in pure LabVIEW, i.e. using TCP connections.
+
+## Current state
+The code was used in a project for production porpuses but not tested under any circumstances. It also has almost none documentation so you should be familiar with ADS terminology.
+It should not be used in production. If you would do so please contact me, so I can tell caveats and maybe change to code. Please feel free to adopt the code but commit to this project if you use it.
