Among the upgrades in LabVIEW 2013 is native support for new hardware from vendors such as ARM and Xilinx, which makes the Xilinx Zynq all-programmable system on a chip. The reliability and quality of complex applications are enhanced through a suite of code management, documentation, and review tools. Those tools integrate with a software engineering process and include a new Subversion plugin from Viewpoint Systems. Deployment technologies are streamlined for developers who want to deliver professional applications. LabVIEW 2013 also delivers systems on mobile platforms for iOS and Android to enable dashboards for remote monitoring and system control.

The workflow in ParaVision 6 introduces optimized, application-oriented experimental protocols; an intuitive, interactive 3D scan planning viewport; and automatic reporting. It features a newly developed user interface and easy parameter handling. A guided imaging workflow produces consistent results and lowers the learning curve for biomedical researchers new to MRI. A context-sensitive view reduces complexity by visualizing only parameters relevant to the operations at hand and thus ensures intuitive and focused operation. Integrated, real-time optimization features enable dynamic adjustment of parameters during scanning and provide integration of navigator scans and on-the-fly, automatically calculated Shinnar–Le Roux RF pulses for optimum slice profiles.

A large touchscreen color display indicates temperature and maximum and minimum readings and produces a graph of the data. The unit performs both data logging and spot measurement. In data-logging mode, it can be set up and left to take temperature readings at predetermined intervals for a specified length of time. All readings are saved to a file with a date and time stamp in comma-separated values format for up to 65 536 readings. In spot measurement mode, the unit functions as a thermometer to capture one-off temperature readings displayed onscreen. It can repeat up to 65 536 readings per file. The data can be downloaded to a PC via a USB connection and opened with Microsoft Excel or the EasyLog software available free of charge from Omega’s website. The unit is compatible with any J-, K-, N-, and T-type thermocouple probes. Omega Engineering Inc, One Omega Drive, P. O.

According to the company, it delivers faster turnaround times, increased sample throughput, and lower costs than single-stream, mass spectrometry methods. By enabling the use of two parallel liquid chromatography streams, the software can increase throughput by as much as 100%. Chromatographic runs can be staggered while collecting sample data, making use of instrument “dead time” to run more samples and identify more compounds within a given time period. Researchers will potentially be able to do more in less time by combining the increased throughput of the MPX software with the capability of the AB Sciex TripleTOF 4600 accurate mass system to produce reliable data for a large number of compounds.

According to the company, the software makes it easy for photonic scientists to set up modulation tests and increase efficiency by cutting the number of steps in half. Since it automates the execution of tests, the software also minimizes errors. It provides a comprehensive analysis of complex modulated optical signals to help researchers analyze all facets of the signals and diagnose problems. Users can now set up instruments simply by entering a few parameters that describe the optical input signal. Based on that information and the characteristics of the signal itself, the software determines the best settings and selects the most suitable algorithms to provide analysis results within seconds.

The card has 16 digital inputs and outputs and a single 16-bit analog output that can update at a 50-MHz rate. In addition to a point-by-point output mode, it has an on-board coprocessor and memory buffer that allow the generation of complex arbitrary waveforms or ramp signals independent of the main system processor. The card provides synchronous operation of the input and output digital channels simultaneously with the analog output signals. It is suitable for applications such as scanning microscopy and magneto-optical, quadrupole ion storage, and quadrupole ion traps. In cases requiring more than one channel, multiple cards can run in a single system while synchronizing all output channels to each other. The high speed of the Pro II system provides complex applications with a high data rate.

Conceived for use on standard office-grade PCs, Opera-3d version 16 contains enhancements that take advantage of the multicore processor architecture of today’s computers. According to the company, harnessing the parallel processing capabilities of multicore processors can reduce computational time. One advanced feature is the accurate method the software uses to represent coils. That feature is widely used by scientists and engineers to model computationally intensive, complex devices with up to several hundred coils. The run time of such complex simulations can be much quicker with the new Opera version; the company reports that a PC with a quad-core processor using the software can run four times as fast as one not using the software.

The Morphologi G3 measures the size and shape of particles by image analysis. The new software delivers accurate measurement of fiber-specific parameters, including total length, width, straightness, and elongation. Many manufactured materials and intermediates, including insulation products, reinforcing materials, textiles, and carbon fiber, are fibrous in nature. Each has unique properties, and detailing those properties is essential to R&D, manufacturing, and quality control. When measuring curved or branched fibers by image analysis, traditional caliper-based measurements deliver only some of the particle length and width information needed to fully determine fiber-particle properties. According to Malvern, total length and width fiber measurements, now possible with the Morphologi G3, may prove to be more valuable parameters.
