Automation controllers are client programs, which use internal functionality of the COM servers. Automation controller programs are developed by users for writing their own add-ons for the system.
User programs can be written in different languages:
•Programming languages with built-in COM support, such as Visual Basic®, Delphi, Java.
•Universal programming languages, such as C, C++.
•Microsoft Excel and Word office applications as they include built-in programming language Visual Basic for Applications®.
•Program generators, such as National Instruments LabVIEW®, MathWorks MATLAB® or HP–VEE.
Examples represented in this Manual are written in Visual Basic (VB).
See examples written in VB, and C++ languages in COM Programming Examples.
Examples written in VBA (Excel), C++, MATLAB, Python, and other languages are available at Copper Mountain Technologies website. Source code of examples are also located in the Programming Examples\COM\ folder of the application installation folder.
A Labview Driver is also included in the Labview subfolder of the Programming Examples\COM\ folder, and can be downloaded separately from Copper Mountain Technologies website. The Labview Driver contains examples of its use.
