Measure Foundry is an open, powerful, application builder that supports standard instruments: function generator, oscilloscope, digital multimeter (DMM), and programmable power supplies for automated test equipment (ATE).
Users can set up test and measurement applications, combining a variety of instruments without writing any code.
"The Instrument Pak for Measure Foundry offers the ability to make structured process sequences using various instruments," stated Fred Molinari, president, founder, and CEO of Data Translation.
"For example, the process component allows sequencing of one instrument to another with conditional results and time frames.
Combining existing SCPI support with newer LXI instruments offers unprecedented power for creating test and measurement applications.
Process sequences can now run in perfect synchronized modes".
The Instrument Pak connects to all standard instruments via IVI-COM drivers, which are the basis for all LXI systems.
instrument applications can be easily used in process sequences with connections via Ethernet to any PC.
The Instrument Pak is available immediately as an add-on to Measure Foundry 5.0 Professional version.
The available Measure Foundry options are listed below.
* Measure Foundry Base - A full-featured, powerful application builder that is the standard Measure Foundry.
Existing industry interfaces such as LXI, GPIB, USB, PCI, PXI/VXI, and RS-232 are supported through SCPI commands via the VISA transport layer.
Academic versions are available.
* Measure Foundry Professional - All the power and flexibility of the Base version with the addition of a built-in installer for easy, royalty-free, one-click distribution of executables.
* Instrument Pak for Measure Foundry - This add-on provides access to IVI-COM drivers that support standard instruments: function generator, oscilloscope, digital multimeter (DMM), and programmable power supplies.
