Developers can gather, distribute, and analyze information from high-speed data acquisition applications such as vibration analysis and machine condition monitoring..

The product features Internet tools to publish front panels or customized pages to the Web. User interface enhancements include front panel objects that automatically scale when a user re-sizes a window or when an application runs under different screen resolutions.
