Automation Interface
10 Automation Interface
So far you have worked with the Bode 100 by using the graphical user interface
(GUI) of the Bode Analyzer Suite. Beside this very comfortable user interface for
laboratory use, the Bode 100 provides also an all-purpose application
programming interface (API) for interfacing with the Bode 100.
The Bode Analyzer Automation Interface supports OLE automation and allows
quick access of the Bode 100 using OLE compatible controllers such as Excel
®
or programming languages like Visual C++
®
. This allows simple integration of
the Bode 100 into automated measurement setups. Additionally, by using the
Bode Analyzer Automation Interface you can directly control the Bode 100 with
programs such as LabVIEW and MATLAB.
The Bode Analyzer Automation Interface is automatically installed during the
Bode Analyzer Suite installation and is available for use as soon as a Bode 100
unit is connected to your computer. (You do not need to start the
Bode Analyzer Suite to access the Bode Analyzer Automation Interface).
Figure 10-1: "Object hierarchy overview" on page 130 shows an overview of the
command structure for the Bode Analyzer Automation Interface.
Note: An overview on the measurement functions available through the Bode
Analyzer Automation Interface is provided in the Automation Interface Object
Hierarchy and in the Automation Interface Reference. Both documents are
located in the Automation subdirectory in the Bode Analyzer Suite directory.
You can find detailed information how to access this directory on page 131.
