National Instruments and Agilet Technologies extend functionaltiy, flexibility of analytical instrumentation with LabVIEW

01-Jul-2004

National Instruments and Agilent Technologies Inc. announced a joint initiative to create NI-certified LabVIEW instrument drivers for control of Agilent gas and liquid chromatographs. These plug-and-play drivers extend the analysis, automation and I/O integration capabilities of Agilent life science instruments, enhancing their application to custom scientific endeavors such as gas stream analysis in fuel-cell development and hydrocarbon processing.

"These drivers deliver native connectivity between the NI LabVIEW graphical development environment and our industry-leading analytical instruments," said Donna Mazur, Agilent's worldwide chromatographs product marketing manager. "This provides the thousands of scientists and researchers using our instrumentation with more software development options and the flexibility of a full programming language to meet a wider range of laboratory and production application requirements."

Through LabVIEW instrument drivers, scientists and researchers can quickly automate Agilent instrument operation, easily integrate chromatography measurements with additional analytical instrumentation data and use more than 450 built-in analysis functions such as peak detection and data calibration to create custom analysis routines for specific experiments and applications. In addition, they can use Instrument I/O Assistant in LabVIEW 7.1 to interactively write commands, read responses and automatically parse data from Agilent instruments, which cuts development time by up to 80 percent.
