VInstrumentation software and hardware provides a low cost alternative to oscilloscopes, meters, data loggers, signal generators, precision voltage sources, timers and many other data acquisition and display systems.

Your PC can display traces and numbers on a big monitor screen that the whole class can see. The PC can also be attached to a projection screen or multiple monitors in large lecture halls.

VIPodS, with up to 4 pods of various types, give a versatile system that can be configured for a wide variety of experiments. VIPodS work with laptop computers and are powered by the computer so can be used in field trips.

VInterface has a fixed hardware configuration allowing a wide variety of experiments at lower cost.

Easy Experiment Setup

Software configuration for each experiment can be saved and reloaded.
Display and operational controls changes made with point and click operations.
easy connect 4mm sockets on VInterface.

Education Oriented Software

The VIPS software package is ideally suited to displaying measurements and controlling experiments in student laboratories. The software was written by Dr Alex Gardiner who was, for many years, a lecturer in electronics and Control Systems
Download the VIPS Demonstration Software to see the benefits virtual instrumentation can bring. Specialist packages available now are:-
Virtual Control Laboratory  - gives real-time on-screen signal generator, controller and graphic display.  Can be linked to a variety of control laboratory hardware.  Laboratory sheets for experiments will soon be available.
Virtual Logging System - create a record of what is happening in an experiment.

• A number of other packages are in preparation:-

Virtual Timing - Laboratory and Experiment timing, Sports timing, Quiz timing and Match timing.
Operation of DAC and ADC - the student becomes the DAC or ADC controller.
Fourier Waveform Generation & Analysis - Compose and decompose complex waveforms.
System Identification - Time and frequency black box system identification.
Thermocouple Measurement of Temperature - using VIPodS 101/T pod.

if you have a teaching application. We would be pleased to help.
