language independent software component. Consequently ActiveX Controls can be
incorporated into a wide range of software development environments for use by
client application developers. Development environments supported include Visual
Basic, Labview, Visual C++, C++ Builder, HPVEE, Matlab, VB.NET, C#.NET
and, via
VBA, Microsoft Office applications such as Excel and Word.
Consider the ActiveX Control supplied for the K10CR1 integrated stage & controller.
This Control provides a complete user graphical instrument panel to allow the stage
to be manually operated, as well as a complete set of software functions (often called
methods) to allow all parameters to be set and motor operations to be automated by
a client application. The instrument panel reflects the current operating state of the
controller unit to which it is associated (e.g. such as motor position). Updates to the
panel take place automatically when a user (client) application is making software
calls into the same Control. For example, if a client application instructs the
associated stepper motor Control to move a motor, the progress of that move is
reflected automatically by changing position readouts on the graphical interface,
without the need for further programming intervention.
