Rockville, Md.— OmniMeter handheld virtual instrumentation platform is a Microsoft Windows CE-based platform that allows virtual instrument developers to rapidly deploy handheld test and measurement devices. With added support for commercial off-the-shelf DAQ peripherals, the OmniMeter is said to aid users in developing custom and automated devices for mobile and field environments.
