Custom-Built Applications for Instrument Control
Custom-built applications, for instrument control, provide a virtualized front panel used to control bench-top and plug-in instruments. For certain instruments, it can provide additional functionality such as graphs and storage configurations.
Typical tasks:
- Download and send data to/from the instrument
- Exact triggering and instrument co-operation control
- Storage of measured data to spreadsheet/text/binary file
- Storage/recall of pre-defined measurement configurations or instrument setups
- Online data export to other Software (DDE, ActiveX, ODBC, etc.)
- Multi-window display (measured values, configuration display, waveform)
- Application control through the instrument's front panel
- Supports GPIB/serial/VXI/plug-in/ethernet/and other connections of the instrument
- Control of plug-in data acquisition PC cards that serve as an instrument
- Simultaneous control of multiple instruments
- Extended help and tutorial capabilities
- Use of standard Windows features
