CalSet Object


See ICalData Interface for putting and getting typed Cal Set data.

Description

Use this interface to query and or change the contents of a Cal Set.

Accessing the CalSet object

Get a handle to a CalSet object by using the CalSets collection. This is done through the CalManager object with the app.GetCalManager Method.

Dim app As AgilentPNA835x.Application
Set app = CreateObject("AgilentPNA835x.Application", <analyzerName>)

Dim calst As ICalSet
Set calst = app.GetCalManager.CalSets.Item(1)
'OR Get a handle by CalSet Name

Set calst = app.GetCalManager.CalSets.Item("MyCalSet")
