Study on the Development Platform of Codeless Data Acquisition Software

Abstract:

In this paper, a codeless data acquisition software development platform (CDASDP), which is written by LabWindows/CVI, is described. This software, based on the idea of software reusing, is a visual codeless programming system with built in support for databases, 2D drawings, ActiveX, etc. Users can develop personalized software by themselves and need not learning or using textural computer languages. Complex programming logic can be simplified into 3 steps such as parameters configuration, user-interface edition, and software creation. By use of CDASDP, development cycle and cost of professional measurement software (PMS) is reduced substantially.
