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 parameters

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:
