Chapter 14
Extending JMP
External Data Sources, Analytical Tools, and Automation
This chapter discusses scripting features that are particularly useful for production settings, such as the following:
• a Datafeed for capturing real-time data from a laboratory instrument
• using SAS, MATLAB, or R through JMP Scripting Language (JSL)
• using JMP with Microsoft Excel
• connecting to databases
• controlling JMP externally by OLE automation
• parsing XML
Some general JSL commands that might be of particular interest for use in a production setting include
Caption,
Speak,
Print,
Write, and
Mail. These commands are described in
“Functions that Communicate with Users” in the “Programming Methods” chapter.
