The Automating and Customizing Data Processing Using DIAdem Course teaches you how to automate common tasks in the DIAdem panels with DIAdem’s standard VBScript commands. You also learn how to customize the DIAdem environment by creating user-defined dialog boxes, user commands and custom menus, which enable you to use DIAdem as the basis for complex applications.
Course Objectives:
- Automate DIAdem using VBScript
- Use standard dialog boxes
- Design user-defined dialog boxes
- Create user-defined variables and commands
- Control the script sequence
- Define functions and procedures
- Optimize and structure scripts
- Programmatically handle files
- Import data with SQL queries in VBScript
