Talk:Script Engines
From LabAutopedia
I have always thought that the Microsoft Office scripting enviroment (VBA) provided a useful way to quickly intereact with an instrument. Certainly not the way to build complex "robust" solutions, but definately a good way to control liquid handlers and to collect data. While not technically a script engine (in that i's not a complete language embedded in an intruments software) it's similar in that you are accessing an instrument through it's object library.
Update
paa offer the following scripting languages: VB Script, VB.NET and C# in their new Overlord3 product.
