The early expectations and concerns with the proper processing of the input data were replaced by concerns over the portability, usability, extension and integration of software. Nowadays, correct functioning, portability and ease of use are taken for granted. It is also taken for granted that simulation packages are extensible to meet specific needs and that data can flow in and out of different packages. Current expectations and concerns are diverse, but focus mainly on the ease and speed of customisation. However, it is likely that, some time in the future, developers, builders or end users may want tools that let them select, modify and assemble only the functionality that each simulation solution requires.

    NESUG 15 Emerging Technologies Using SAS® Data To Drive Microsoft Office Darren Key and David Shamlin, SAS Institute, Cary, NC Office applications expose groups of related features through ABSTRACT automation interfaces. An interface is a collection of functions (also called methods) and attributes (also called properties) that Microsoft Office provides tools for integrating its suite of can be called from other application code. In one of our case programs with other vendors’ data sources. There are a variety of studies, we use a special automation interface that allows Excel ways to do this using various ActiveX components and VBA and Access to call custom data import and export wizards scripting techniques. While the number of choices available can implemented as COM add-ins. The interface is called add to the complexity of creating a customized solution, the IDTExtensibility2 and contains five methods: basics of integrating with SAS data sources can be simplified with some basic code patterns for migrating data and reports between • Microsoft Office and SAS.

  • Intranet-Based Management of CAN Devices
    Intranet-Based Management of CAN Devices Dr.-Ing. Martin Wollschlaeger, Dipl.-Ing. Stefan Wehrmann With the steadily growing use of CAN devices within complex automation systems, the need for effective management solutions becomes more and more obvious. The spreading integration of CAN systems into Local Area Networks (LAN) provides the opportunity to build such solutions on intranet-based technologies like HTTP or COM/DCOM. Particularly the chances of a link between the intranet-stored information and the fieldbus layer let the development of a new generation of management tools be more than likely. Based on the illustration of principles for connecting fieldbus and LAN new concepts for the representation of CAN Higher Layer Protocol structures and data by intranet-based objects are introduced. Examples of practical realizations of the concepts for managing CAN modules prove the feasibility and show the prospects. 1. Introduction providing easy access to manufacturing related data from standard office One of the most outstanding trends in in- environment. This offers a starting point formation technology’s recent develop- for the implementation of management ments is the trend towards network-centric functions for the underlying fieldbus and its systems.

Integration concepts Using these technologies in an Intranet on There are different scenarios for the inte- top of a LAN enables the integration of gration of fieldbus systems into LANs different hard- and software platforms, as (Figure 1).

    Microsoft Visual C++/Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) Frequently Asked Questions Michael Pickens ([email protected]) Version 5.6 Last updated: 7/01/98 ATTENTION!!! The MFC FAQ 5.5 is still available to download. It is formatted in fancy HTML Help so you can download it and search it locally on your machine. Click here to download the file (mfc_faq.exe 1.34 Mb - self installing with instructions). The MFC FAQ is graciously sponsored by Stingray Software. Stingray Software was founded to create and market MFC extensions. It is our belief that MFC/VC++ developers would rather use object-oriented class libraries, instead of binary, black box, OLE controls (a.k.a. ActiveX controls). We are now almost three years old and have several thousand customers who agree that MFC extensions are a great solution to many Windows development problems. Here is a quick list of our products: Objective Grid - The first and by far the most full-featured 100% MFC grid control on the market - click here to check out the hundreds of advanced features that this super-powerful table/spreadsheet control offers.
