Jan 2005 - Software Upgrade for Fluke

When Fluke Precision Instruments wanted to upgrade the software component of their 7000 Series Automated Voltage Measurement System, they turned to Product Technology Partners for help.

The instrument uses a LabWindows/CVI software application for the configuration of and download to the 7000S Reference Modules with a bespoke Excel add-in that allows the user to view and manage the data collected. Fluke needed the software to be compiled under the latest version of CVI and they had a number of support issues with the newer versions of Excel. They were also looking for advice on how to connect the instrument to a PC via USB.

The combination of our extensive experience in LabWindows / CVI programming and the robust nature of the development platform from National Instruments ensured that the upgrading was achieved in a cost effective and timely manner. We were then able to address the support issues in Excel and make recommendations for the USB connectivity.

A full report was generated which detailed all the code changes carried out and listed the alternative ways for the equipment to be connected by USB. This was then followed by a site visit to Norwich to hand over the completed software and ensure that all issues had been satisfactorily addressed.
