The IGSS ODBC Interface

The IGSS ODBC Driver

The IGSS ODBC Driver is embedded in the DLL, odbcixv8.dll or odbcixv8cl.dll, located in the \Gsssubfolder of your installation path. The driver allows any SQL-enabled database to access the configuration data and process data (*.alm, *.log, *.bcl) from the active configuration. Note that you can only access offline data using ODBC. To access online data, you must use the Automation interface.

The system designer can thus edit the configuration data directly from the database. Advanced database programmers can even make their own dedicated applications eliminating some of the repetitive work involved in creating a configuration.

Automatically installed

When you install IGSS, the driver is automatically installed in the ODBC Data Source Administrator as seen in the Control Panel.
