The GagePort Mitutoyo OPC Server relies on the standard automation wrapper supplied by the OPC Foundation. The following diagram illustrates how the automation wrapper interacts with the automation client (e.g. Visual Basic for Applications script) and the custom interface of the GagePort Mitutoyo OPC Server. Note that the automation wrapper executes in process with the automation client.
Note: Selection of the type of
interface to use, custom or automation, depends on the goals of the
client application developer. Adhoc client applications written in
Microsoft Visual Basic (for example) typically use the automation
interface. Automation interfaces are easy to use in the VB (and
VBA) development environments. However, the automation interface is
slower at execution time. Applications written in Microsoft Visual
C++ (for example) use the custom interface. This is the most
efficient interface, but it is more complex to use.
