1.3.5 Open Data Center
Data Center is the central repository for all process monitoring and control data in ADAMView. You can
easily integrate real-time data from the data center into a company-wide information system to effi-
ciently support decision-making. Data Center features two different sets of interfaces to the outside
world: C API, OLE automation, and DDE functions.
C API is the most efficient interface, so it is used for all communication between components of
ADAMView. OLE automation is designed to interface with OLE-aware applications.
