Active X (OLE 2.0) Support
Active X provides an interface for other programs to access infor-
mation from WatView’s database.
See the WVActiveX help file located in the WatView folder (by
default: C:\Program Files\Anafaze\WatView) for the details about
using the ActiveX interface. Several examples are included in the
ActiveXSamples folder under the WatView program directory.
There is a simplified interface documented by the sample applica-
tion WVAXDemo.exe also in the ActiveXSamples folder. This inter-
face is appropriate for use with applications such as National
Instruments

LabView.
