Instrumentation 2.0

[jgcode]

As part of working for an NI Alliance member I attended an NI presentation today.

I was introduced to a new catch-phrase that I had not heard before - Instrumentation 2.0.

"Instrumentation 2.0 is a software based approach to instrumentation empowering engineers to create user-defined results from raw measurement data"

This was the first time I had heard the term mentioned and used to define and document an evolutionary step in the industry - just like Web 2.0.

On further research it seems that this was mentioned all the way back in 2007. But I can't find a lot on it.

Have you heard it used?

Is it an Industry or National Instruments only term?

Did it not catch-on?

A few interesting reads here and here.

It just doesn't seem as catchy as "The software is the instrument."

Best, Louis

Well with Web 2.0 companies getting hundred-million-dollar investments, it's certainly worth the effort of a few blog postings and press releases to jump on the bandwagon.

AFAIK, "Instrumentation 2.0" is simply the test-centric description of http://www.viengineering.com/vista_solutions/configMgmt/default_eim.aspx' rel='nofollow' target="_blank">Engineering Information Management (EIM).
