What can I build with InstrumentLab?

Great looking user interfaces! for your DSP and control applications.  The following images are a taste of what InstrumentLab has to offer.

 

Applications include:  real time data monitoring, process control, signal analysis, digital signal analysis, video analysis, data visualization, visual instrumentation and more.

 

(See the "Features" tab for a more complete listing.)

InstrumentLab is a set of visual instruments and controls based on GDI+.  For Delphi / C++ Builder, InstrumentLab is a set of native VCL components, and these components can be composited:

 

 

/system/imgs/26/original/ILCompositeComponentsSample.jpg?1311868224

 

 

InstrumentLab is implemented using a very fast MMX optimized libraries to perform the plotting calculations, and is designed mainly for very fast real time data plotting applications, such as DSP, Audio Processing, Video and Image Processing.

 
Intel:
 
  • Intel MMX
  • Intel Performance Primitives ( IPP )
 
Developed with IGDI+
 
 
InstrumentLab is fully compatible and directly integrates with SignalLab, VideoLab, AudioLab, VisionLab, and PlotLab.

Our component libraries come in 3 versions a VCL - Firemonkey version (for Delphi / C++ Builder / RAD Studio 10.3 or higher), an MFC compatible Visual C++ version, and a .NET 4.0 supporting Visual Studio 2005 or higher.
 
The RAD Studio version is a set of native VCL and Firemonkey components of which all include now the powerful Mitov Runtime.
 
The Visual C++ version is a set of native Visual C++ classes (components).
 
The NET 4.0 (4.5 and higher compatible) version is a set of managed .NET components.  The .NET version has the same performance as the native versions, and supports all the Microsoft .NET languages including Visual Basic, C#, J#, F# and C++/CLI.
 
Due to the unique architecture of the OpenWire platform, the components are implemented the same way in Managed .NET and native Windows (32 and 64 bit) environments. The code to control a component from VB.NET, C++/CLI, C#, and J#, Visual C++ MFC, Delphi, and C++ Builder is almost identical. This allows the developers to migrate and share code between the different environments thus significantly improving the productivity.
 
OpenWire Libraries: for fast, complex data stream processing with almost zero lines of code!

InstrumentLab: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I have to purchase InstrumentLab?
A: InstrumentLab is free for non commercial purposes. This means that you can use it for personal pleasure, hobby, or evaluation purposes. If you are student you can also use it for free for your educational needs including school projects. If you are a tutor at present you also can use it for free for your classes. However in the near future a low cost tutor license will be available, and you will have to purchase it. Your students however will not need license to use the product at class.
Q: Is InstrumentLab multithreading? Will it stop streaming while I move the window with the mouse?
A: Yes. InstrumentLab is fully multithreaded and will not stop streaming while the main thread is busy.
