Low Cost Virtual
Instrumentation
Picture

Adept Scientific announces a new standard in low-cost virtual instrumentation - VIValue. This combines a ComputerBoards plug-in PC data acquisition card with Hewlett-Packard's user-friendly HP VEE visual engineering environment to create a powerful, easy-to-use and affordable virtual instrumentation tool for Windows.

'Virtual instruments' aptly describes intuitive, on-screen test and measurement and data acquisition systems made possible by the latest generation of hardware and software. Until recently, however, this was an expensive route to follow. Now VIValue - the result of a collaboration between ComputerBoards, Inc., the pioneer of low-cost, high-quality PC date acquisition boards, and Hewlett-Packard, world leader in test and measurement - establishes the fastest, easiest and most cost-effective visual programming environment for building virtual instruments for product development, production test and many other applications.

For the hardware component in their virtual instrumentation solution, users can choose from ComputerBoards' extensive offering of cost-effective plug-in data acquisition and control boards for high and low speed A/D conversion, analogue output and digital I/O. Cards are available with either ISA or PCMCIA interfaces, so the virtual instrument can be run on laptop and desktop PCs.

Hewlett-Packard's high performance HP VEE software allows the user to develop programs by connecting graphical objects instead of writing lines of code. HP VEE's flexibility allows the user to run existing C/C++, BASIC, PASCAL and FORTRAN test programs, integrate almost any other Windows application (Windows 3.1x, NT or Win 95) and use popular database, word processing and spreadsheet programs. This powerful software supports hundreds of GPIB and VXIplug&play instruments and comes with all the required drivers for data acquisition.

Free Catalogue Available
HP VEE and the VIValue package are among the many new entries in the latest ComputerBoards catalogue of data acquisition and control products (Volume 14), now available free upon request from Adept Scientific plc, 6 Business Centre West, Avenue One, Letchworth, Herts. SG6 2HB; telephone (01462) 480055 extension 602, fax (01462) 480213. It may also be ordered direct from Adept's World Wide Web site Literature Selector. This comprehensive and informative new catalogue includes the broadest selection of 16-bit analogue input cards, analogue output cards, terminals, cables, software and accessories currently available.
