Access to the data#
The manual shall describe the necessary steps by using programming interface for interpretation of SOFiSTiK database (CDBase). The way of processing and presenting the data depends of the user.
The following examples demonstrate how a simple data interpretation of CDBase can look like. By using VBA you can use the advanced features of ‘’MS Excel’’. MS Excel has the basic features of all spreadsheets, using a grid of cells arranged in numbered rows and letter-named columns to organise data manipulations.
After importing to Excel, it is possible to use the Excel functions to display data as line graphs, histograms, charts, pivot tables, table with advanced filter…
With Python you can use the graphic libraries and also PyLaTeX to generate PDF documentation.
Hint
Please aware that the main purpose of this manual is to explain the CDB data access and NOT to learn the users about programming. A basic programming knowledge is required.
