Abstract :
The author describes three different personal-computer-based approaches to the software support of measurement applications. The first approach is for skilled programmers who want very flexible tools in a wide variety of programming languages. The second adds programming productivity tools to eliminate much of the detailed programming. The third and most advanced software system attempts to eliminate instrumentation programming entirely with a highly graphical environment
