Introduction to Measurement
Studio
Measurement Studio is an integrated suite of native tools and class libraries
that are designed for developers using Visual Basic .NET, Visual C#, and
Visual C++ .NET to develop measurement and automation applications.
Measurement Studio dramatically reduces application development time
through object-oriented measurement hardware interfaces, advanced
analysis libraries, scientific user interface controls, measurement data
networking, wizards, interactive code designers, and highly extensible
.NET and Visual C++ classes. You can use Measurement Studio to develop
a complete measurement and automation application that includes data
acquisition, analysis, and presentation functionalities.
