Also allows the GASCalc routines to be embedded in third party or custom applications to create powerful solutions to serious calculation challenges. |
• |
It is a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) |
• |
The library contains gas properties, measurement, pipe flow, regulator, and relief valve calculation routines found in the GASCalc software. |
• |
It can be linked to a User created application or interface - allowing programmatic access to the various GASCalc calculation routines. |
• |
GASCalc API is compatible with any development environment that supports the use of dynamic link library's including .NET, VB Script, VBA, and others. |
• |
The API is available at an additional charge. |
