Windows Automation Support Option

Direct and monitor LMS Test.Lab

Standard LMS Test.Lab solutions can be driven from external applications. This is interesting for customization as well as automation. All these actions can be performed externally:

Open an application
Activate worksheets
Initiate actions by ‘pushing buttons’ from outside, e.g. starting a measurement
Show/hide worksheets
Change parameter values
Access display functionality

LMS Test.Lab events and measurement values can be continuously observed from within an external application, which means that remote monitoring of a measurement process can be implemented. Also, an event generated at the end of a measurement session can be used to trigger another process like sending an email to the operator.

Analysis extensions

When using Windows Automation, it is possible to extend a LMS Test.Lab application with in-house algorithms. These algorithms can take their input data directly from LMS Test.Lab, without having to export the data to a file. For further data processing or storage, the results can be introduced into the LMS Test.Lab software in exactly the same way.

Integration with other software

A measurement system like LMS Test.Lab often needs to be connected to external control systems, like a test rig environment. Through Windows Automation, LMS Test.Lab and the control system can be integrated into a configuration, in which either system can act as master or slave. LMS Test.Lab can be joined with e.g. Microsoft Excel, where data from LMS Test.Lab can be exported to Excel for further statistical analysis and charting. It is also possible to add ActiveX components into the LMS Test.Lab user interface. In this way, control of external devices can be closely integrated within the workflow of LMS Test.Lab, although it remains a separate process.

Using LMS Test.Lab as toolbox

The opposite of extending LMS Test.Lab with in-house algorithms, is to complete an in-house software package with functions coming from LMS Test.Lab. Thanks to Windows Automation, LMS Test.Lab functions and building blocks (e.g. pictures) can be used within external programs, while keeping data and control in the external program.
