  • Page 6: Introduction

    Introduction This Programming Manual contains information on remote control over pair of PLANAR R54 Vector Reflectometer and its data communication by means of user programs written with COM/DCOM technology. COM technology is used when a user program runs together with an external measurement instrument program on one PC.

  • Page 7: Com Technology Overview

    PLANAR R54x2 COM/DCOM Programming manual COM Technology Overview COM stands for Component Object Model. This programming technology was developed by Microsoft for two purposes: the model provides the specification for interaction of binary modules created in different programming languages; the model defines the interfacing between a client application and a server application running either on the same PC or on two different PCs.

  • Page 8: Local And Remote Server

    DCOM it is necessary to configure the local network by means of DCOM Windows tools. COM technology is normally used to control pair of PLANAR R54. The same automation controller is used for the both COM and DCOM technology. Some changes to the user program may be required in operators, which establish connection with the server.
