MaxIm DL is able to interoperate with other software through several means. It uses standardized file formats for storing images and associated data. It has an open interface architecture that allows other programs to exercise its functions and access its data. It also has standardized ASCOM-compliant interfaces for connecting to external equipment; these can also be used to interconnect with other software.
