The Open Software Solution for

Measurement & Automation


Outline

• DAQBench– 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 ActiveXcontrols– Property– Method– Event

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


Measurement Applications

Data acquisition

Data analysis

Data presentation

Information integration


SCADA/HMI Applications

•Data collection and monitoring•Alarm management and logging•Automatic data logging•Real-time and historical trending•Reporting•Equipment diagram

What is DAQBench?• ActiveX controls for measurement and

automation applications• Based on VB, VC++, Delphi… programming e

nvironment for script and advanced functions• Functions

DAQBench SCADA/HMI

Tag ServerDatabase

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.

DAQBench SCADA/HMI functions


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 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
