Features such as a web-browser driven point-and-click
environment for rapid configuration, built-in measurement tools
and rich I/O for communicating results make it easy for factory
technicians to get the results they need.
Customizable
Sensor customization allows users to develop and embed their
own custom measurement tools directly into the firmware itself—
