Outline DAQBench DAQCreator DAQBench Overview and Concepts Benefits of Using DAQBench Suitable Applications and Users DAQBench Functions and Demonstration DAQCreator Introduction Demonstration

ActiveX Controls Microsoft standard architecture of reusable software components Can be used on many programming environments VB VC++ Delphi C++ Builder The Interface of ActiveX controls Property Method Event ActiveX Object Methods (call) Events (fire) Properties (set/get) Application

Trend of Measurement and Automation More and more developers use open programming languages Agilent announced they support Visual Studio .NET as the T&M development platform NI released the Measurement Studio ADLINK released DAQBench in ‘98

DAQBench SCADA/HMI Architecture Tag server DAQBench ActiveX controls User Interface Real-time Trend Historical Alarm Tag config utility Database OPC server config file Ethernet PLC

DAQBench SCADA/HMI Tag Server OPC Database The Tag Server communicates with OPC servers (either local or remote), scales the data, logs historical data, and processes alarms, OPC The Tag Config Utility configures all tags in the system. When you configure a tag, you define several properties for the tag, such as logging, scaling, and alarms. ActiveX controls DAQBench Trends, Alarms, Reports, Equipment, and User Interface controls allow you to quickly develop screens. In addition, linking to tags is through the use of easy interface window. You don’t even need to write any program.

Benefits of Using DAQBench Ease-of-Use Using general programming languages (VB, VC++, etc.) Interactive and even-driven programming Low Cost Easy programming, saves you time (and money) not only in initial implementation but also in future maintenance. Quick time-to-market

Benefits of Using DAQBench Performance Better than ready-to-run package or graphical programming language Integration Easy to integrate with Excel, web, OPC server, DDE server, and database Open and extensible

Application Example 1 – Factory Monitoring SCADA/HMI . . . . . . Ethernet NuDAM OPC 700 I/O

Application Example 2 – Battery Discharge Status Measurement NuDAQ PCI-9114HR: measure electric voltage and current NuDAM ND-6013: measure RTD temperature Using NuDAQ OPC server and NuDAM OPC server to acquire measurement data Using DAQBench to monitor and log data
