The Synthesis API can be used to accomplish many of the same tasks as within Synthesis applications, and it also enables seamless integration of the Synthesis Platform with other systems within your organization - all through a programmer's own custom-developed code. This gives you access to a more customizable and automated solution to reliability engineering.

This reference describes all of the programming elements in the API. The sample code and documentation have been prepared for the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (Visual Basic and .Net) development environment, and it is assumed that the reader is familiar with programming in that environment.

Requirements

Before using the Synthesis API, note the following requirements:

  • Your code must include a reference to the ReliaSoft Synthesis API Library. The library is located in the folder where ReliaSoft Synthesis is installed. By default, this folder is "C:\Program Files\ReliaSoft\Synthesis 9."
    • .NET developers – use the SynthesisAPI.dll library
    • VB6 / VBA developers – use the SynthesisAPI.tlb library
  • The version of the Synthesis Platform that you've installed must match your installed version of Microsoft Office. If they do not match, you may see an error related to ActiveX controls.

API Elements

The Synthesis API includes a rich set of programming elements that allow you to work with any of the following components of the Synthesis Platform:
