Updated version of common API for flexible integration from HBM

HBM is announcing the updated and improved version of its Common Application Programming Interface (API), which offers users one programmable environment for several data acquisition systems. Version 2.0, which is suitable for integrating QuantumX, PMX and MGCplus into NET based software, enables automatic alignment from several devices, which in turn provides clear and concise results in a structured and intuitive layout, minimising the possibility of interpreting errors.

Customers using different acquisition systems from HBM can now also save time, as general commands, such as device scan, channel selection and measuring, are the same for all systems, so that no re-programming of these components is required when changing over to the new hardware.

Additional improvements to this version, which now supports the QuantumX High Speed mode (MX410, MX403), also mean that access to digital inputs and outputs and analogue outputs is also now available for control and diagnostic tasks.

Designed to suit all levels of programmable knowledge and available to download free of charge from www.hbm.com/interfaces, HBM has supplied detailed examples and documentation on the latest version of the Common API, to ensure users are quickly and simply guided to the desired measurement results.

Suitable for use on test benches, QuantumX, PMX and MGCplus are flexible data acquisition systems which provide reliable results. Whatever your application, mobile or stationary, on a test cell or under extreme environmental conditions, HBM has a suitable measurement data acquisition system to suit your needs.
