Scalar DLC Reference Guide 295
ROBAR Guide
The ROBAR (ROBotic ARchive) software works with the Scalar DLC via the specific ROBAR interface. The
ROBAR Client software is a flexible tool that works under various operating systems (Unix-based, Win9x,
WinNT, Win2000, and so forth). The ROBAR interface was one of the first methods to operate the
Automated Media Libraries and still remains very useful.
The ROBAR Client works with the Scalar DLC server software. Before the connection between the ROBAR
Client and Scalar DLC can be established, the ROBAR Client object must be created and configured.
The sections are:
• Installation and Configuration on page 295.
