Labtech and Data Translation have announced the release of Labtech Version 12.1, a significant upgrade that now supports Data Translation's DT-Open Layers 32-bit WDM drivers.
Now any device with a DT-Open Layers 32-bit driver is supported by the full Labtech product line, from the low-cost, lab-oriented Labtech Notebook to the high-end, factory process control-oriented Labtech Controlpro.
DT-Open Layers is a set of open software standards for Microsoft Windows that allows users to easily add support for new Data Translation hardware and devices without reprogramming.
This release of Labtech offers high-speed streaming of data directly to disk.
Benchmark tests show 100 kHz throughput for Data Translationûs USB devices with 16-bit precision.
Data Translation's DT9800 series provides 500 volt isolation to protect the USB from unwanted noise and ground spikes.
Without this isolation, the user risks program interruptions, system halts, and damage to the system.
For this reason, Data Translationûs products are optically and galvanically isolated from the USB.
"This is a significant advance in data acquisition technology.
Prior to Data Translationûs USB modules, Labtech users just couldn't get everything they needed from any device ð high speed, excellent signal quality, ease of use, and portability.
Now, users can have it all," said Dr.Fred A.
Putnam, founder and CEO of Labtech.
"Data Translation has worked with Labtech for over fifteen years to provide support for our products.
Now, with DT-Open Layers, Labtech can offer its customers complete support of our USB and PCI boards.
We are pleased that this partnership continues to grow and prosper," said Fred Molinari, founder and CEO of Data Translation.
Labtech Notebook, Notebookpro.
Control, and Controlpro run under Microsoft Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, or ME.
System requirements include an IBM PC compatible (486 or better), 32MB RAM, and VGA graphics or better.
Labtech Version 12.1 is available immediately.
Labtech Notebook begins at $695.00; Labtech Control begins at $2,495.00.
