WorkBench for Windows is a measuring, process control, and analyzing software package which takes full advantage of the features and graphical interface provided by Microsoft Windows.
Intuitive Operation
With WorkBench for Windows, a
measuring, process control or
simulation task can be set up direct
on screen, freely and in any
configuration of the integrated
functional components, by selecting
and connecting modular elements.
These elements can be arranged
without limitations and most
comfortably, thanks to the intuitive
operating environment. Even highly
specialized tasks can be solved
immediately on the screen,
interactively and without difficulty.
Process Control
External systems can easily be
manipulated by employing
appropriate modules for digital I/O
or D/A conversion. WorkBench for
Windows provides a wide range of
powerful modules for digital
operations (AND, OR, NOT etc.),
counters and PID control functions.
Measuring, Control and Analysis Functions
Among the module functions
provided are A/D and D/A
converters, Pre/Post and Start/Stop
triggers, Digital I/Os, mathematics
from fundamental arithmetic to
integral and differential calculus,
statistics, digital filters of several
types, frequency analysis including
various evaluation windows, signal
generators for simulation purposes,
scopes for the graphic display of
results, logical connectors like AND,
OR, NOR etc., a chart recorder, file
I/O, timer, digital meter, bar graph,
analog meter and more.
Display of the Results
Readings are directly displayed
graphically or numerically by means
of specially assigned modules. For
example, this can be done
effectively by making use of scope
modules. Each one provides a
freely sizable window in which data
from several channels can be
displayed; a system of suitable
coordinates (linear, logarithmic,
polar, waterfall) and different color
codes (for multiple signals) can be
selected. Freely scalable analog
instruments, bar graphs and LED
indicators are especially helpful
when it comes to process control
and testing. As these elements can
be freely placed and combined,
all the instruments necessary for
any process can be integrated
completely.
Storing Data and Data Exchange
The acquired data and process
results can also be saved to files so
that they can be retrieved for further
purposes later. Using Dynamic Data
Exchange (DDE), data can also
be transferred directly to other
Windows applications supporting
the DDE protocol. For example,
Excel and applications with DDE
capabilities may be used to start
WorkBench and control it while
running an experiment.
Supported Hardware
WB-FLASH, WB-WORKMATE, WB-FAI/AAI/ASC, WB-DYNARES, WB-DIO, WB-AVO, and Datashuttle (DS-12 and DS-16).
