MCPS
is in general a standard data acquisition program. Around
MCPS there are two possibilities to adapt it to custom
specific applications:
a) With specific scripts a lot of requirements can be
solved especially for evaluations and reports
b) CAD Computer can develop software expansions, which are
loaded by MCPS similar to plug-ins to increase the
functionallity.
Example:
A customer wanted to see the data values on large 7
segment LED displays. Since the displays could only show
one channel, the values should rotate every 2 seconds.
Depending on a digital input signal the rotation should by
stopped by user or started again.
CAD Computer developed an additional software module (as a
DLL), which is loaded by MCPS as startup. After a scan is
completed MCPS transfers the channel values to the DLL.
The custom DLL handles the communication to the displays
and sends the data in a proper format. This feature was
implemented for four independent measurements and displays
at the same time.
