Visual Scripts
BASIC Scripts
For programmers, DATS comes with a built in BASIC scripting language. This can be used to automate any part of the DATS™ processing mechanism. Scripts can contain data capture, data import, analyses, user input forms, graphical results, report generation and data export. DATS BASIC Scripts also support OLE automation for seamless integration with other products such as Microsoft Office. Visual and BASIC Scripts can both be used for creating turn-key test systems and end-of-line testing applications.Related Case Studies
