TestPoint Application Development Package
The TestPoint start-up software can be modified, enhanced, and extended using the full
TestPoint Application Development Package, available separately. By using the start-up
runtime as a foundation, TestPoint offers the flexibility needed to build basic systems quickly,
without extensive programming. TestPoint uses object-oriented, drag-and-drop technology to
bring both power and simplicity to data acquisition and test and measurement applications.
TestWizards and pre-written application templates in a choice of graphical styles make it
simple to create a complete application. Additional objects can be added and modified to create
custom enhancements.
Three optional toolkits provide even more capability for TestPoint applications:
• Internet toolkit provides Web-based remote measurements and control.
• Database toolkit provides access to popular database packages like Access, SQL,
Oracle, and others.
• Statistical process control (SPC) toolkit adds charts, statistics, and analysis capabilities.
