The Noise Inspector combines data acquisition and analysis in an application oriented and user-friendly user interface.
The software is programmed in LabVIEW, the graphical development environment of National Instruments, and delivered as an executable standalone application. This allows us to focus on the essential - ease of use and results.
On the contrary, for standard tasks like the data acquisition, we can count on the well tested drivers from National Instruments which are used in countless applications all over the world.
This allows us to support a variety of hardware and to adapt the software easily to specific applications of our customers. The open LabVIEW interface provides a simple way for our customers to develop their own algorithms and to integrate these into the Noise Inspector, which is often used by universities.
However, you do not need to know anything about LabVIEW to use the Noise Inspector.
