In 1985, as part of his Computer Science Masters at the university, Michael Macknight built the MacLab, one of the first analog to digital converters that connected to a Macintosh computer. Two software packages were then developed: Chart (chart-recorder software, now LabChart) and Scope (digital oscilloscope software), which provided software control of the recording unit as well as a range of display and analysis features: *In 1988, business name was registered and the company began manufacturing Macintosh computer-based data acquisition systems for the life sciences research market. *In 1996 the company's first Windows compatible data acquisition system was released. The Windows compatible MacLab data acquisition systems were branded as PowerLab. *In 2005 the LabTutor software for education was released. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ADInstruments」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
