  • Abstract
    Test-and-measurement engineers involved in measurement, automation and product test can significantly benefit from rapid developments in the general computer industry. Relevant computer-standard technologies, applied to the test, measurement and automation industry´s solutions, instruments and systems, bring a wealth of vital, new and innovative capabilities to the users of such equipment. Use of computer-standard technologies also results in reduced equipment costs, dramatically improved ease of use, consistency between instruments, simpler and more powerful software solutions, and accelerated equipment time-to-market.
