What is Measurement Studio?

Measurement Studio is an integrated suite of measurement and automation controls, tools, and class libraries for Visual Studio 2005, and Visual Studio .NET 2003. Measurement Studio dramatically reduces application development time with ActiveX and .NET controls, object-oriented measurement hardware interfaces, advanced analysis libraries, scientific user interface controls, measurement data networking, wizards, interactive code designers, and highly extensible classes.

Building on more than 20 years of measurement programming expertise, National Instruments created Measurement Studio. Tools were designed specifically for Microsoft Visual Basic, Visual C# .NET, and Visual C++ to bring you simplified integration with data acquisition and instrument control interfaces for easier hardware integration. With Measurement Studio, you use your Visual Studio programming knowledge to get measurements started quickly and create a complete measurement solution - all the way from acquiring to analyzing to presenting.

Measurement Studio for Microsoft Visual Basic and Visual C#

Measurement Studio provides a collection of managed .NET controls tightly integrated within the Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio .NET 2003 environments that are designed specifically for engineers and scientists building virtual instrumentation systems. With Measurement Studio, you can configure and run all your MCC DAQ hardware, GPIB instruments, and serial devices. With scientific user interface controls for Web and Windows Forms, you can interactively configure graphs, knobs, meters, gauges, dials, tanks, thermometers, binary switches, and LEDs from property pages or collection editors. In addition, Measurement Studio delivers powerful networking components so you can easily share live measurement data between applications via the Internet.


Development Tools

Efficient Development

With shorter project development time and diverse developer skills, you often do not have time to train the team to learn a new development language. Measurement Studio provides the tools in one package to take advantage of existing programming knowledge and to target the language you know. You have the flexibility to choose Visual Basic .NET or Visual C# .NET. Regardless of the language you choose, Measurement Studio provides the reusable tools to make your programming tasks easier.
Extensible Components and Classes
The architecture of off-the-shelf components is critical in determining the amount of customization possible with a control or class library. The Measurement Studio classes and user interface controls were designed to maximize their customization. By using the Measurement Studio component base classes as a foundation for extensibility, you can easily inherit from and extend the classes to create customized classes and controls such as a custom graph or proprietary I/O bus communication.

The user interface controls, for example, enable full customization of plot drawing, point and line styles, and graph borders. The Boolean controls allow style and behavior extensions. For hardware customization, you can easily derive from the GPIB, VISA, or DAQ interfaces to create your own custom hardware interfaces while using the robust Measurement Studio hardware base classes.

Interactive Configuration
Data Acquisition and Instrument Control

Whatever you use to acquire your data—a GPIB interface or plugin DAQ hardware—Measurement Studio provides the high-level interface for your development language. You select Visual Basic or Visual C# to build high-speed, device-independent measurement and automation applications and Measurement Studio delivers ActiveX and .NET controls, tools, and object-oriented classes to help you do it more efficiently.

The data acquisition functionality includes:
  • Built-in channel configuration of scaling raw data
  • High-speed waveform acquisition and generation for single shot and continuous
  • Accurate and fast single-point analog and digital I/O
  • Counter/timer I/O for pulse generation, event counting, and duration measurements
  • These I/O capabilities, combined with special data types and measurement analysis class libraries, are specifically designed to get the data or measurement you need from your physical sensors as quickly and easily as possible
Measurement Studio simplifies the task of connecting to and communicating with a wide variety of instruments. With the Measurement Studio interfaces, you can quickly acquire data from GPIB, USB, or Ethernet, PXI, and VXI instruments using the built-in libraries.
  • Easily integrate GPIB, serial instruments into your test application
  • Communicate with hundreds of instruments from more than 150 vendors with instrument drivers
  • Increase performance and portability with device-driver software
Data Analysis

Measurement Studio delivers a full spectrum of analysis functions to convert raw data into meaningful information. With Measurement Studio analysis interfaces, you can employ a wide variety of signal processing and data analysis tools, such as curve fitting, spectral analysis, statistics, and visualization. Because you can perform analysis inside your application, you can integrate more intelligent data processing before storing or presenting the information.
Presentation

Create professional measurement and automation graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for Windows and Web applications without spending months on development. Measurement Studio delivers measurement-specific user interface components that you can drag, drop, and extend to create a custom interface to your measurement applications. These controls include buttons, knobs, slides, gauges, tanks, dials, and graphs. Because the Measurement Studio controls are extensible, the user interface components empower you to present data in a more informative manner than vendor-defined box instruments.
User Interface Design-Time Productivity

If you are using ActiveX or .NET controls, Measurement Studio includes productivity features that allow you graphically interact with your user interfaces. The .NET controls include auto format menus, editors, and property page enhancements. Auto format menus allow you to quickly choose from predefined property formats. Editors are included for components like plots, annotations, and axes, allowing you interactively add and edit your user interface controls. Property page enhancements include arc editors and graphical representations of user interface styles. For ActiveX controls, Measurement Studio provides interactive property pages to allowing quick configuration of the look and feel of your user interfaces.
