ADLINK Measurement, Automation, and Platform Suite (MAPS)

ADLINK Technology’s Measurement, Automation, and Platform Suite (MAPS) is an all-in-one software solution. To improve process efficiency and shorten development time and effort, developers working with DAQ and PXI modules may immediately begin work with MAPS software packages such as ADLINK Connection Explorer (ACE), diagnostic tools and easy-to-use testing utilities to analyse device functionality in one click.

Faced with deadlines to rapidly create solutions, measurement and automation developers are often hindered by a lack of crucial set-up and development tools. After buying systems and modules, engineers often spend hours visiting various websites to collect drivers, diagnostics, analysis tools and documentation before even getting started on a project. MAPS is designed to eliminate this bottleneck, improving process efficiency and shortening development time for test and measurement and automation developers, third-party PXI module developers, and DAQ module and PXI chassis developers.

ADLINK Connection Explorer (ACE) is a single quick-access screen for exploring and validating functionality for DAQ and PXI modules, meaning there is no more back-and-forth searching to determine the root cause of an error installation, and can be used by engineers developing solutions with third-party PXI platforms. Conversely, users may view ADLINK PXI platform and modules on third-party interfaces such as NI-MAX and Keysight Connection Expert. Users can also use ADLINK DAQ modules on NI LabVIEW.

The MAPS toolset includes Soft Front Panel for DAQ modules users and ChassisWatch for developers using any ADLINK PXI chassis. Both offer easy-to-use testing utilities that analyse functionality in one click for seamless field and site deployment. The software also offers language-based SDKs needed for C/C++ and LabVIEW developers.
