美国Data Translation
Data Translation公司成立于1973年,总部位于美国,是世界上著名的高性能数据采集和提供开放、功能强大的采集分析软件供应商。
Data Translation, founded in 1973 and headquartered in Marlboro, Mass., is a leading designer, manufacturer, and provider of data acquisition solutions to the test and measurement market. With expertise in the design of high-accuracy, high-quality hardware and application software, Data Translation partners with end users and OEMs to help them achieve their test and measurement goals. With more than thirty five years of experience, customers have come to rely on Data Translation for its world-class software, design proficiency, high-quality manufacturing, and respected customer service. Data Translation has a worldwide presence, with offices in the US and Europe and distribution in more than 40 countries.
Over thirty five years of innovation began with a data acquisition board that converted real-world analog data to digital information that could be processed by a computer. Years later, Data Translation engineers developed an industry breakthrough: the first multifunction data acquisition board. Today, Data Translation continues its dominance in data acquisition hardware with modules designed for the USB bus, ranging from low cost modules to high performance modules combining high speed and high accuracy with the power and convenience of USB. Even greater barriers were broken with the introduction of the world's fastest simultaneous USB data acquisition module with throughput rates up to 2.0MHz per channel.
In 2001, Data Translation launched a new application software package, Measure Foundry. This powerful test and measurement software is a rapid application development environment that allows anyone to easily and quickly create measurement applications without programming. Using a drag and drop graphical interface, combined with property pages, the user can create sophisticated measurement solutions in a fraction of the time needed with previous packages.
In 2007, a new add-on to Measure Foundry was introduced that allows users to quickly and easily configure applications with LXI instrument capabilities using IVI-COM drivers. This opened up Measure Foundry to the world of instruments. Existing industry interfaces such as GPIB, PXI/VXI, RS-232, and USB are also supported through SCPI commands via the VISA transport layer.
In late 2007, Data Translation also introduced its first LXI compatible instrument – TEMPpoint. TEMPpoint is a series of easy-to-use temperature measurement instruments. Accuracy is embodied through design features that are unmatched in any other instrument. This product represents the company's entrance into the instrument world. In 2008, an Ethernet version of TEMPpoint was introduced.
In early 2009, Data Translation introduced its second LXI compatible instrument – VOLTpoint. VOLTpoint is a series of precision high-voltage measurement instruments designed for measuring a wide range of voltage inputs; ideally suited for lithium-ion cell-by-cell battery testing. VOLTpoint is available in both USB and Ethernet configurations.
