General Programming Interface (GPI)

Use the general programming interface to program DLLs with which you expand the standard functions of DIAdem. For example, the DLL can contain new variables, commands, or drivers.

The general programming interface contains various APIs (application programming interfaces). With the APIs you can differentiate the areas where you can expand DIAdem. The General Programming Interface contains, for example, the variable API, with which you can extend the variables stock in DIAdem, or the file import/export API, with which you can extend DIAdem with a file filter. The General Programming Interface also contains further APIs that provide special comprehensive help functions.

no instructions about install
The link is titled 'Installing a DIAdem GPI extension' but there is no information on how to perform the install. The only information is about what a GPI/API and DLL is used for. Where do I find out how to install a GPI/DLL plug in?
