Measurement Studio 8 remote monitoring

National Instruments has released Measurement Studio 8, a suite of class libraries and controls for acquiring, analysing and presenting data in applications built using Microsoft Visual Studio.

Now with scientific web controls for ASP.NET, the upgrade allows users to create web pages that can be viewed with any browser or operating system for remote monitoring and control of their test and measurement applications.

The package offers new user interface controls, more than 80 new analysis methods and additional data acquisition code generation.

It features ASP.NET web controls, allows users to access the complete Microsoft ASP.NET web infrastructure and their knowledge of C# or Visual Basic.NET to create test- and control-specific web pages that include graphs, tanks, switches and meters.

With these controls, users can display data from dynamic sources, such as that from data acquisition devices, benchtop instruments, distribute I/O systems or databases, on a web page that can be viewed with any browser.

In addition, web users can interact in real time with the suite's applications to control distributed applications such as those at remote test sites or manufacturing plants.

The digital waveform graph plots digital lines and buses and works with plot templates for graph customisation.

The complex graph plots and charts double data consisting of both real and imaginary components.
