If you want to monitor a test going on in the lab from somewhere else on the network, why not set up that test using DASYLab as your control and monitoring software.
The DASYLab Net option enables data exchange at rates up to 100,000 samples per second, and you can remotely start, stop and load experiments, including simultaneous starting of several DASYLab Net systems.
It's all done through standard TCP/IP protocols.
Even better, the latest release of DASYLab, version 7.0, has a TCP/IP module enabling users to integrate networking into their applications with the same point-and-click simplicity as other I/O.
If you want to integrate data acquisition hardware directly into an Ethernet-based network, take a look at the NDACS 6000 unit.
This clever instrument is supplied with a 10BaseT Ethernet and RS232 serial port as standard, and can be connected directly to many local area networks and modems.
Users can view data in real time or download previously logged data remotely, no matter where the instruments have been deployed.
And as the NDACS 6000 can be installed right at the point of measurement, there is a big reduction in expensive cabling installation costs.
Direct connection is supported for a range of signals, such as voltage, current 4-20mA, thermocouple with integral CJC, resistance, RTD sensors, strain gauges and load cells.
Above all, however, talk to people who have the experience in integrating data acquisition systems and larger networks, and who can best advise you on the kinds of products that are right for your application.
