DASYLab 10 Updates Test & Measurement

By DE Editors

Measurement Computing Corporation (Norton, MA)  released DASYLab 10, the latest version of its graphical programming environment for test and measurement (T&M).

DASYLab 10, which is compatible with Microsoft’s Vista, and optimized for operation on multiprocessor PCs, offers new features including Diagram Module, which provides interactive versatility of time-domain data. It can be configured as an enhanced Y/t chart, X/Y chart, or data-chart recorder. It supports multiple y-axes and allows the user to assign signals to each y-axis. For easy comparison of the time-domain waveforms, users can define the offset used to display a signal, and can dynamically move a signal around within the graphical display to compare one signal with another.

Other features include module Benchmarking, which measures and records the execution times of individual modules in a test program, allowing users to identify throughput bottlenecks and to optimize performance. Plus, a User Defined Order of Actions now allows the user to specify the execution order of the actions,  providing precise control over timing or sequence. An improved OPC driver is simpler to use, has a more powerful core, and supports multiple OPC-servers. And FFT and other related modules can now process data using any block size,  improving the quality and precision of the computation.

The update also offers include sequencer support for HTML file export and the ability to import and export global variables and strings automatically at measurement start and stop.

DASYLab is offered in four different development editions: Lite, Basic, Full, Pro, and a Runtime-only version for program deployment. DASYLab 10 Lite ($499, full price; $99, upgrade price); DASYLab 10 Basic ($1199; $239); DASYLab 10 Full ($1599; $319); DASYLab 10 Pro ($2299; $459); DASYLab 10 Runtime ($449; $499).
