Product Description
The SPECTRUM Level II Developer’s Tools provide C/C++ programming
interfaces for developing advanced extensions to SPECTRUM. These tools
include header files, object libraries, sample source code, complete
documentation, and support from Aprisma. For information on the
Aprisma Channel Partners Program, call 877-487-7735 or refer to the

Level II developer’s training is available and can be purchased at extra
cost.
The following Level II Developer’s Tools are available:
• SPECTRUM SpectroSERVER Application Program Interface
(SSAPI) - The SpectroSERVER API is the primary communications
interface between the SpectroSERVER and client processes such as
SpectroGRAPH. The API provides both an asynchronous interface (for
interactive and windowed applications) and a synchronous interface
(for query and report requests to SPECTRUM).
• SPECTRUM View Application Program Interface (View API) -
The View API helps developers integrate new or modified views into
the SPECTRUM environment. Full cut-and-paste functionality is
supported, and generic views detailing aspects of the model state are
accomplished with the View API. Non-Aprisma product views can be
accessed, and external processes can be initiated from SPECTRUM
with this toolkit.
