Using IVI with Measure Foundry
®
The Environment
Measure Foundry is a visual software environment for creating test and
measurement, control, and analysis applications. The design environment consists
of forms and the foundry window. You choose components from the foundry
window and drop them onto your form. Clicking on the components accesses
property pages where you can set design, configuration, and connectivity. This
enables fast application development.
Each application consists of three primary elements:
•
a data source supplies data to the application
•
a control source determines how and when the data is used
•
a data sink receives data to process or display
Example Requirements
