WinX32 Automation Interface Examples PI / Acton Software
Interface to PI Acton Cameras • Interface through COM/DCOM, Scripting, ActiveX Your Application WinView/WinSpec b PVCAM Device Driver Interface (HW) Black Box to Application
WinX32 Automation ( ActiveX ) • Interface that allows user to automate the software • Accessible with Visual basic, or Microsoft Scripting ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms950396.aspx ) • Macro Record • Aids in the creation of a program by generating visual basic script • Examples • ftp://ftp.piacton.com/Public/Software/Examples/WinX32_Automation/ • Vb_examples.zip ( only official example ) • MakeASPE – synthesizes data, creates a new SPE file, puts the data from VB to WinX32 • MultiFileOpen – demonstrates how to open many files at once • CollectData – instructs WinX32 to collect data
WinX32 Automation Examples ( con’t ) • All of the following programs do just about the same thing with the exception of which process occurs. • The program… • Obtains handle to Active Window • Gets data from file • Does some processing • Creates a new file • Puts data into new file • vb.sum or average frames.zip • allows the user to select if the output is going to be average or sum of the input data stack • vb.datared.zip • Performs data reduction; Takes every Nth frame from the input data stack and copies it to the new file
WinX32 Automation Examples ( con’t ) • VB Programs ( con’t ) • Negative.zip • Inverts the data • Vb.addframes.zip • Simple example to sum all frames • Vb.autoplay.zip • Simple example of a movie player • Vb.datatrans.zip • Translates data; used in TDI; implements two functions 1) frames_to_rows() and 2) frames_to_columns() • Vb.examples.zip ( not to be confused with vb_examples.zip ) • harvard • shutter bracketing; takes several exposures each at a different exposure time • Vb.expinc.zip • Runs the current experiment setup N times • manages auto filename incrementing • Vb.kinwin2frames.zip • Takes kinetics data in full frame format • Outputs a data stack, one frame for each kinetics window
WinX32 Automation Examples ( con’t ) • Other VB examples • Ascii.zip, export_asci1.zip • Saves data to ascii file. • Vb.roi.zip • User is able to select from 1 of many different preprogrammed ROI settings. NxN binning, Center 10, Zoom in ROI, etc… • Acquires the ROI • Vb.ttl.zip • Demonstrates how to access the TTL I/O port on some systems • VBS example • ExpStart.vbs • Prompts user for number of experiments to run • Loops for each and acquires current setup • Assumes that file increment is on • VI example • OpenActive.vi • Obtains the handle to the active window’s data file with LabView’s ActiveX interface
WinX32 Automation Examples ( con’t ) • VBA examples; embedded in Microsoft Office Apps • Excel • Binning • Acquire data on an array of different binning parameters and record results • Import Export • Imports data to excel • Exports processes data back to WinX32 SPE file • LN Hold • Records the temperature v. time • TTL Read • Illustrates use of the TTL i/o port on some systems • WinViewRunner • Runs the current Experiment N times
