Measure Foundry works with all test instruments
By Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 4/1/2007
Measure Foundry 5, formerly DT Measure Foundry, has expanded its I/O capabilities beyond Data Translation hardware. The software uses VISA to send commands to instruments such as digital multimeters (DMMs), oscilloscopes, function generators, spectrum analyzers, RF generators, and power supplies. I/O buses include IEEE 488, USB, VXI, PXI, and LXI. You can write VISA scripts that send SCPI commands to any instrument and receive measurement results.
Once you build a VISA script, you can use a feature called Process Component to build applications. Scripts may contain conditional loops and branches, and you can develop multithreaded applications, with each thread running independently.
Measure Foundry 5 comes in two editions: Basic and Professional. Both let you develop a full range of applications. The Pro edition lets you compile your applications into stand-alone executables.
Base price: $1995. Data Translation, www.measurefoundry.com.
