Statistical Algorithms Importer: Linux-compiled Project FAQ

F.A.Q. of Statistical Algorithms Importer (SAI), here are common mistakes we have found in Linux-compiled Project.

How to use the input and output parameters (C++ Example)

For example we consider BasicStatistic algorithm that use basicstatistic linux executable file:

BasicStatistic, SAI

DataMiner show the BasicStatistic algorithm in this way:

BasicStatistic in DataMiner interface, SAI

Below the C++ code in sample which generates basicstatistic linux executable file:

	}
 
	fprintf(foutput, "BasicStatistic Result: \n");
	fprintf(foutput, "%d\n", result);
	fclose(foutput);
 
	return 0;

Fortran Example

For example we consider Fortran Statistic algorithm and we will use its executable version fortran-statistic.sh in SAI in this way:

FortranStatistic, SAI

DataMiner show the Fortran Statistic algorithm in this way:
