The COM server contains several objects, which provide different functionality of the server. The COM objects of the Analyzer executable module are organized in a hierarchical structure. The figure below shows the main COM objects, which comprise the first three levels of the hierarchical structure of the COM server. COM objects provide various methods and properties, which allow access to the server functions, as well as allowing access to the objects of the lower levels.
The structure of COM objects
The Object Application is at the top of the hierarchy of the COM server. Access to the lower level objects is implemented via higher level objects.
note |
The hierarchy of COM objects and their names are borrowed from the SCPI command system, an alternative remote control technology of the Analyzer. Commands in SCPI have a chain hierarchical structure, for example: CALCulate:PARameter:DEFine S11 The same command in COM is as follows: app.SCPI.CALCulate.PARameter.DEFine = "S11" |
