tasks to perform data acquisition. The software includes memory and data
buffer management, event triggering, extensive error checking, and
context sensitive online help.
More specifically, DriverLINX provides application developers a
standardized interface to over 100 services for creating foreground and
background tasks for the following:
●
Analog input and output
●
Digital input and output
●
Time and frequency measurement
●
Event counting
●
Pulse output
●
Period measurement
In addition to basic I/O support, DriverLINX also provides:
●
Built-in capabilities to handle memory and data buffer management
●
A selection of starting and stopping trigger events, including
pre-triggering, mid-point triggering, and post-triggering protocols
●
Extensive error checking
●
Context-sensitive on-line help system
DriverLINX is essentially hardware independent; its portable APIs work
across various operating systems. This capability eliminates unnecessary
programming when changing operating system platforms.
TestPoint
TestPoint is a fully featured, integrated application package that
incorporates many commonly used math, analysis, report generation, and
graphics functions. TestPoint’s graphical drag-and-drop interface can be
used to create data acquisition applications, without programming, for
IEEE-488 instruments, data acquisition boards, and RS232-485
instruments and devices.
