What can I build with InstrumentLab?

We are proud to announce the NEW OpenWire Studio

 

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:

 

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 XE4 to 10.1 Berlin), an MFC compatible Visual C++ version, and a .NET 2.0 and 4.0 (4.5 and 4.6 compatible) supporting Visual Studio 2005 to 2015.
 
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 2.0 and 4.0 (4.5 and 4.6 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 is a set of visual instruments and controls based on GDI+.

The Delphi / C++ Builder version is a set of native VCL components.

Here are some examples of the included controls:

 

LED Controls:

LED Controls have On/Off and multicolor indicators.

 

Progress Bar control:

Progress bar with multiple discrete or transitional colors, displaying with or without bars, and customizable borders.
The progress bar can be rotated.

 

Angular Gauge control:

Analog Clock control:

Linear Gauge control:

Thermometer Gauge control:

Segment indicator control:

Segment Gauge control:

Segment Clock control:

Segment Text control:

Spectrum control:

Matrix control:

Composite controls:

Glass Panel control:

The glass panel can be placed on top of other components to create a glass cover appearance. It can be placed over any control.

  InstrumentLab FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I have to purchase InstrumentLab?

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.

Is InstrumentLab multithreading? Will it stop streaming while I move the window with the mouse?
