R project connector tool (Rp.tlb) provides you with 2-ways port to R-project statistical software. R project is a powerful statistical engine and console GUI with vast collection of add-on packages (473 registered ones so far)... and it's free.
If you working with R, that tool will allow you to use the R libraries you have created or just know from within Sicyon. To develop R library from within Sicyon is possible, but the tool hasn't been design for that purpose.
If you are only familiar with R (even on beginners level), the Rp tool will give you the power of R from within a familiar environment of Sicyon. Just find the R library you need and write some code to connect Sicyon variables and/or data boards to R. The results you will have wherever you want - in Rp log panel, in expression result field or in a target data board.
If you don't know R, that is a good chance for you to learn some R basics and have its power under your finger-tips.
In order to use Sicyon tool R project connector tool (Rp.tlb) you must install R project on your computer. For that purpose you have to download the installation file - either from R project site or from here. After that, run the file and follow the instructions.
Using Rp tool you can:
- get and set R variables or copy Sicyon variables with one command or click.
The variables could be matrices as well.
- evaluate R expression from VBScript or from the console input,
- run R code - line by line from the VBScript or as a batch from Memo tool.
