Open Interface To Ease System
Integration
HBM's catman ActiveX server now allows system integrators to access data acquisition functions, in the form of a dynamic link library (DLL).
HBM's catman ActiveX server now allows system integrators to access data acquisition functions, in the form of a dynamic link library (DLL), by using the open ActiveX interface independently from the catman Professional software package A free demonstration CD of the library is now available

Amplifier increases press-fit assembly accuracy
A measurement amplifier simplifies two-channel manufacturing and testing processes, such as press-fit monitoring, to ensure greater fitting accuracy.
Using the library enables amplifiers to be configured easily and measurement runs to be defined, realized and automated intuitively.
Measured values can be visualized in real time or after the measurement if, for example, a measurement log is required.
The system has additional options for evaluating data and developing customized applications.
An advantage to system integrators is that they can continue to use familiar programming software tools such as Visual Basic, Visual C++, Delphi, and LabView.
They will also be able to use catman's high-level functions to facilitate communication with HBM amplifiers.
The library subdivides functions into the following groups: * Data acquisition and device configuration * Data evaluation and mathematics * Data management and file manager The catman ActiveX library is particularly valuable to programmers that use LabView together with HBM's MGCplus amplifier since it replaces the previous driver that required detailed knowledge of the MGCplus system.
