PLANAR R54x2 COM/DCOM Programming manual

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. DCOM technology is used when a user
program runs on a PC connected with the measurement instrument by LAN.
Methods and techniques for writing of user programs are same for the both
technologies. The only difference between the technologies is that the DCOM
technology requires additional LAN setting performed by the LAN administrator.
Before reading this Manual, familiarize yourself with PLANAR R54 Operating Manual.
