Catalogue

Windmill is a modular suite of test and measurement software. You purchase the core programs, and then add extra modules as the need arises. There are no costly upgrade barriers. All prices are in Pounds Sterling.

Standard Windmill

The standard Windmill suite comprises SetupIML, Logger, Chart, Control Panels, DDE Panel and any one driver. It costs £145.

SetupIML

All the hardware is configured from Windows with SetupIML.

Logger

Records data from up to 100 channels of any type. The data scrolls down the window, with colour coded alarms. For long term logging the program will create a separate file for each hour, day or week, and if required can overwrite old data to continue logging indefinitely.

Chart

Continously updates graphs showing the changes on chosen channels.

Control Panels

The Analogue Control panel lets you set the levels of output signals in your chosen engineering units. The Digital Control panel provides a set of push-buttons for switching digital outputs.

DDE Panel

The DDE Panel displays data from any type of channel, and acts as a DDE Server. It provides an easy way to share data, in real-time, with third party applications like spreadsheets.
