The MS Windows environment provides a system of transferring data between active
applications in real-time known as Object Link Embedding (OLE). OLE2 is the
latest version of the transfer standard and is fully supported by the Server application.
Embedded data links allow test results received by the server to automatically pass
into a second application, which may be your own custom software or a spreadsheet
such as Microsoft Excel. Server OLE commands also allow you to load and execute
test programs. OLE is the analysis and control method preferred by users who wish to
operate the AT under software control.
OLE is already configured ready-to-go within the Server application. Your client
application will need to be setup to request data from the Server. Refer to your own
application handbook for details of OLE setup.
!
IMPORTANT: Attempting to make more than ten data requests per second
may result in data loss or corruption.
NOTES:
1. The automation object is called 'Server.Results'
