NeoICS

A data acquisition system is crucial when it comes to improving a product, or validating its behavior in varying conditions. A such system should also be able to acquire data from a great variety of sensors, display, analyze and store these data.

NeoICS (Neosoft Instrumentation Case System) was designed to achieve these tasks, while emphasizing on:

  – mobility: you should be able to move your acquisition system with ease without giving up on performance or accuracy. Our hardware platform was built to keep its size and weight to a minimum to be easily carried to your tests location, even in the most challenging environments (water, dust, shocks…)

  – flexibility: adding new measurement types or new sensors should not be a challenge for your software or your system. NeoICS lets you freely replace or add a signal conditioning block at any time to fit your needs as they evolve.

– an unrivaled user experience: our team is fully dedicated to providing you with an intuitive workflow that enables a natural and fast path from the sensors configuration to the data display. You will enjoy many of the latest usability features in a sober and responsive software!

Our Hardware Platform

The NeoICS carrying cases use the NI compactDAQ platform from National Instruments for its versatility (breadth of modules, size, connectivity options…), their ruggedness and their performance.

We completed this platform with a modular and simple signal conditioning platform relying on interconnection blocks inserted in the carrying case. These blocks enable you to easily connect a variety of sensors with no effort (generic voltage, RTDs, thermocouples, thermistances, loads, accelerometers…) while keeping their physical and electrical characteristics.

Combining the best of these two platforms, we  are able to provide a rich experience that adapts to your needs. Contact us so we can further discuss your needs and we will be able to match your projects requirements.

Software

NeoICS comes with configuration, visualization and data logging capabilities bundled together in a simple, sober and powerful software, aiming at making your experience as pleasant as possible thanks to modern user interactions and the latest technology trends.

With NeoICS, you configure your system using the WYSIWYG method (What You See Is What You Get). NeoICS virtualizes a instrumentation carrying case that you can configure so it can visually and functionnally match your actual system.

Add signal conditioning blocks to your chassis by dragging them from the blocks palette, then edit them so you can choose the right sensor, the right measurement type and adjust its settings. If you need a signal conditioning block that we don’t offer off-the-shelf, we can create one for you, and distribute it along with the software add-on that will enable you to add it to NeoICS with no effort.

While configuring your blocks and sensors, NeoICS continuously checks your global chassis configuration. If it is invalid, you will be notified and you will not be able to start an acquisition.

Don’t forget to save your configurations! To avoid going through the configuration all over again multiple times, save your current configuration and load it at a later time so you can directly run your system.

 

The execution panel has also be designed to be as intuitive as possible. We want you to focus on what is important, not searching for hidden features. Want to add a new sensor to the graph? Drag-and-drop it and start using the traditional graph tools.
Want to see the latest value in a dedicated indicator? Double-click a sensor in your list.
Need to log the acquired data? You can take a capture of the graph. Or export its current data. For a continuous logging, a simple button lets you record all the graph data into a TDMS file. You can then open and process this file at a later time in your post-processing of choice.

NeoICS is a platform that adapts to your needs. It naturally becomes one a first-class partner for your test and measurements applications. If you would like to know more about NeoICS and what you could achieve with it, contact our team!

NI VeriStand is an open environment that offers a powerful solution for many application areas, from the rapid control prototyping, to the HIL tests or simpler real-time data logging applications. VeriStand is capable of executing custom LabVIEW plugins from most of its components: in the real-time engine (Custom Devices, models) or in the UI/workspace (Custom […]

NI now offers a (really) portable CAN module

National Instruments has not been a major actor in the field bus industry, but its rich platform and the versatility of the products are interesting when it comes to integrating such functionalities in a more global system (e.g. with data acquisition and/or visual inspection). Software-wise, the NI-XNET driver supports CAN (including CAN-FD and J1939), LIN […]

Datalogger and analysis system for a wafer fabrication process

Le but de ce projet est de réaliser un système de détection de dépassement de seuil en temps réel permettant de calculer la durée de chaque étape d’un cycle de gravure à partir d’un signal échantillonné.

Validate CAN (J1939) interface on multiple UUTs with NI TestStand and NI LabVIEW

By using LabVIEW and TestStand, we were able to build a generic librairy that would enable to read/write CAN message based on the SAE J1939 standard for our customer. This librairy was architected to interface with multiple UUTs at the same time with no effort. And finally, there was a utility to monitor all CAN […]

Get rid of error 97 occurring with Microsoft Office ActiveX API in the Report Generation Toolkit

October 27th, 2017 Using the Report Generation Toolkit you might face a strange Error 97. This error might happen if the Microsoft Office version with which your LabVIEW code has been done came to change (new version installed on the computer or code/exe moved to a computer with a different version). Solving this problem is […]
