JUNE 16--Data Translation Inc. (Marlboro, MA; www.datatranslation.com) has announced DT Measure Foundry 4.0, a major release that integrates the live measurement capabilities of DT Measure Foundry with access to MATLAB from The MathWorks and Microsoft Excel for a robust math-processing and postanalysis solution. DT Measure Foundry's innovative drag-and-drop design combines ease of use with top performance. Users can create complex test-and-measurement applications that access and control data-acquisition functions without being expert software developers. They simply arrange the desired instrument functions on the desktop using panels that receive data directly from the measurement source--without any need to code or wire components.
"Today's announcement gives users the best of both worlds," said Fred Molinari, president, CEO and founder of Data Translation. "They can fully exploit all of the data acquisition hardware functions and processes of our data acquisition products, and now evaluate their results using industry-standard post analysis software seamlessly."
"We are pleased that Data Translation has developed this connection between DT Measure Foundry and MATLAB," said Jim Tung, MathWorks Fellow at The MathWorks. "Being able to seamlessly integrate MATLAB analysis and visualization capabilities in a DT Measure Foundry measurement process enables test engineers and researchers to immediately understand and draw conclusions from their data, improving the research, test, or development process."
DT Measure Foundry 4.0 is available for immediate order priced at $995. Upgrades are available. DT Measure Foundry runs on Windows 2000 and XP. System requirements include a PC compatible with a Pentium II/333 or higher recommended; CD ROM drive; at least 128 MB of RAM required, 256 MB recommended, and at least 80 MB of free hard disk space; Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP, and appropriate DT WDM hardware device driver(s). Supported hardware includes Data Translation PCI boards, USB modules, and DATAX System. Compatible software includes Microsoft Excel 2000 or higher, MATLAB 6.5 Release 13 or higher, and OPC 2.0 Proxy.
