Universal Library makes linking data acquisition systems to a .net-based application every bit as easy as you1d hope it might be
Microsoft's .net is a set of software technologies for connecting information, people, systems and devices.
It enables a high level of software integration through the use of XML web services: small, discrete, building-block applications that connect to each other as well as to other, larger applications over the internet.
It is becoming extremely popular for many good reasons.
But how do we get it to interface with real-life data acquisition applications? The answer is surprisingly simple. Measurement Computing has built much of its success as a data acquisition hardware manufacturer on the availability of Universal Library, a complete set of I/O libraries and drivers for all its boards and other devices, which enable them to integrate seamlessly with almost every mainstream programming language.
Universal Library makes linking data acquisition systems to a.net based application every bit as easy as you'd hope it might be.
This makes .net applications interoperable with hardware like the acclaimed Minilab 1008, the low-cost, USB-based data acquisition module as well as the complete series of the excellent PCI-DAS6000 I/O boards. Universal Library is supplied and supported by Adept Scientific.
