ActiveX Software
ActiveX is a set of Windows-based technologies that allows software
components to interact with each other regardless of the programming
language in which the components were created. From the VSpin
Diagnostics software, simple commands can be used to initiate complex
operations in networked VSpin centrifuges.
The VSpin ActiveX software includes:
❑
VSpin Diagnostics software
❑
Methods, which control individual operations
❑
Properties, which set the values used in methods, such as
speed = fast
❑
Events, which are notifications that methods are complete or have
errors
To allow you to develop your own controlling software, the chapter
"ActiveX Controls" on page 87 provides the ActiveX methods, events and
properties.
For the VSpin Access or Access2 control software, see the Access User
Guide or the Access2 User Guide.
