FTB-2 and FTB-2 Pro 395
E COM Properties and Events
The FTB-2 and FTB-2 Pro also provides objects based on Microsoft
Component Object Model (COM). COM defines a common way to access
and create software components and services.
COM promotes the integration and the reuse of software components, as
well as interoperability. In order to interoperate, components developed
in different languages must adhere to a binary structure specified
by Microsoft.
OLE and ActiveX are based on COM. Many programming languages can
create and use COM components.
You can build your own programs using the provided properties and events
via the IcSCPIAccess interface (available on your unit). For information on
how to configure your FTB-2 and FTB-2 Pro for DCOM control, see
Configuring DCOM Access to Your Unit on page 208.
