Test & Measurement: Automated T&M Toolkit Hastens Sequencing/Results Analysis

Oct. 18, 2004

Speeding the sequencing of measurements and analysis of results is the bailiwick of the T&M Toolkit version 2.0 with Test Automation. It's also significantly easier to use than off-the-shelf test executive software. It simplifies the creation of textual programs for Visual Studio in a fully integrated, consistent T&M environment for multiple software languages. It adds new functionality to existing instrument connection tools, I/O monitoring and driver wizards, specialized T&M math, and graphs for creating applications in Visual Studio. The W1140-TKT starts at $1495, which includes a full development license and one debug and run license for Test Automation.
