InControl offers data acquisition by any other name
15 Jan 2000
If exhibitions are about anything, it's data acquisition. Normally, that's information on the myriad products on show around the exhibition hall. At a control show, it also means data acquisition per se, and InControl is no exception.
National Instruments (294 on enquiry card), for instance, is featuring a new version of its Lookout software. Now compatible with any OPC (OLE for process control) server, Lookout is also compatible with NI-DAQ driver software, giving a choice of PC-based interfaces.
Other National Instruments products are being shown by Brill Engineering (295), including the Scada package BridgeView and a highly flexible, portable and configurable data acquisition system called FlexyDaq.
Another company offering a range of manufacturers' products is Labdata (296). Featured will be data loggers from Icespy, including radio transmitting, hard-wired and self-contained units for temperature, humidity and voltage.
