Kmax Version 11.17
Kmax version 11.17 is the latest release of the Kmax data acquisition and data analysis application software.
In version 11.17, the JDK (version 17) and JavaFX (version 17) are included in the Kmax application bundle.

Kmax 11 Features
Version 11.x marked a complete rewrite of the Kmax GUI, removing most of the Swing classes and adopting the JavaFX libraries. Kmax 11.x updates the Kmax application to be compatible with the latest releases of 64-bit Windows, MacOS, and Linux operating systems. It adds many new features, reimplements 3D histogram views, updates the developer examples, updates the CAMAC and VME driver extensions and the toolsheet examples.
Kmax is a complete environment for data acquisition and instrument control with advanced features for data management, visualization, and reporting. Kmax is a self-consistent, fully integrated application, inter-operating with native OS’s and other compatible application programs. Kmax is compatible with Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X computers. Kmax supports single- and dual-parameter data displays, provides a variety of formatting options and allows the user to configure control panels directly on the computer. With its 3D-view support, ability to import and export data, and high-level support for the CAMAC, VME, GPIB and VXI instrumentation, Kmax is well suited for scientific and engineering computations and data analysis. The core environment may be expanded by adding user defined controls, external commands and external functions, or it may be extended to custom hardware environments by installing user-defined Module Description Resources and low-level drivers.
