Advantech Introduces Advantech GeniDAQ 4.0 OPC-Enabled Industrial Data Acquisition Software
Leverage Windows NT & Windows
CE & OPC Technology
Advantech
Co., Ltd. has introduced Advantech GeniDAQ 4.0 , the 32-bit Microsoft Windows-based
graphical application software for data acquisition. The new release of Advantech
GeniDAQ 4.0 supports Windows NT and Windows 98/95, and Windows CE for Runtime
application. It features multi-threaded technology for optimizing application
performance, OPC (OLE for Process Control) standard compliant driver interface
for connecting versatile I/O devices, and TCP/IP networking for integrating real
time data between Windows NT and Windows CE platforms.
By providing a versatile set of pre-defined control and display icons, Advantech
GeniDAQ can reduce system development time significantly. Just four steps (select,
connect, configure and run) are needed to build a graphical visualization of your
data acquisition and control system's operation. Our customers report that they
require less than one hour to learn and build a simple application with data acquisition,
trend display, and file I/O capabilities.
Advantech GeniDAQ leverages the industry OPC standard to provide the plug-and-play
connectivity with I/O devices, such as Allen-Bradley, Modbus, ADAM and so on.
Most of major programmable logic controllers (PLCs) vendors provide the OPC servers
for their hardware. By offering the complete solution to customers with one point
of contact for sales, support, and service, Advantech simplifies the task of integrating
open automation and reduce the totally owner cost.
Based on the world's most popular macro language, Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications,
Advantech GeniDAQ provides powerful and easy to learn programming tools, helping
you to develop complex applications. Over 600 commands are available to perform
almost any function you can imagine, including calculations, File I/O, DDE, OLE
automation and ODBC. GeniDAQ's BasicScript scripting language allows you to reuse
existing code, helping you to build your applications faster and easier.
