1. Standard configuration and monitoring tool for synertronixx devices and modules. Search, find and configure devices in LAN and WLAN. 2. Use app as a TCP/IP socket based remote control (RC) and visualization tool more info for "Configuration tool": - DeviLAN uses UDP broadcast messages to request and change network configuration for modules like CAN2Web-Advanced or CAN2Web-Professional. TCP/IP communication is used for setting parameters and monitoring device. - Configure and monitor CANIO modules connected to CAN-bus via CAN2Web. more info for "Remote control & Visualization": - Use DeviLAN App as a TCP/IP socket based remote control (RC) and visualization tool - Create your own remote control and send accelerometer data to control your (embedded) device - No iOS programming necessary, just send the configuration data via socket - With simple commmands add sliders, switches, buttons, textfields, progress bars, webview, scroll texts, graphs, maps ... - …segment/radio-buttons and pickers. - Create bar graphs, pie charts, curves and other complex graphics and more ... - Use PC based test tool (remote control & visulization server) to see how RC works - Use free RC & visualization sample code for Linux to start your project - Use free Python scripts to control Raspberry Pi (Pi-Finder, RC-Server, Simple webserver) - Simply modify the scripts to control your Raspberry Pi hardware and other peripheral devices. - Please use product manual and help webpages to get more info
Optogenetics Pro
This tool helps researchers calculate the necessary optical power for optogenetics experiments involving light delivery to deep brain areas. It considers brain region scattering properties, opsin type, and optical fiber characteristics to estimate excitation depth as a function of optical power.
- Calculate required optical power
- Estimate opsin excitation depth
- Model light scattering in brain tissue
- Input brain region properties
- Input opsin properties
- Input optical fiber properties

Optogenetics Pro is a tool which aids an investigator in calculating the required optical power for a given in-vivo experiment involving optogenetics or any other experimental approach that includes light delivery to deep brain areas via optical fibers. Different brain areas have different optical properties, which determine how light scatters and distributes, once it exits the optical fiber. To estimate the amount of light required for a given experimental design, knowledge about the specific scattering properties of the brain region of choice, the specific opsin to be used, and the properties of the optical fiber are required. Once a user inputs these parameters into the APP, it calculates the maximal depth at which excitation of the opsin can be expected. The penetration depth is plotted as a function of optical power (mW), such that a user can see how light scatters in the brain tissue under the specific circumstances. For the scientific basis of this calculator, please see Al-Juboori, Dondzillo, Stubblefield, Felsen, Lei, and Klug: Light scattering properties vary across different regions of the adult mouse brain, PlosONE, e67626(8) 2013. For additional information, please see www.optogeneticsapp.com. The pro and regular versions of the app are identical.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: DeviLAN at every 3 weeks against Optogenetics Pro's every 45 months. DeviLAN also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
