Hi, How can I send a message to a Study from External software, in order to do something inside the Study? (Do I use Socket?) Can you provide me a sample code? If not than what is the way to communicate between external program and the Studies? Ariel |

The simplest way is to read from a text file written by the external software, from within the ACSIL study function.

Is there any documentation on how to read a text file from within an ACSIL study function?

Another approach to read external data into your ACS would be to create and update an .scid-file containing the data and open a new chart with that file as input. Then you can read the data arrays from that chart, manipulate the data and use it in an ACS attached to another chart. Code to create the .scid-file is found in the Old Support Board thread "Intraday file generator": http://www.sierrachart.com/supportboard/showthread.php?t=37945 Be sure to open the file in shared mode (Old Support Board thread "Creating my own scid file"): http://www.sierrachart.com/supportboard/showthread.php?t=16221 Hope this helps. |
