Using channel events, script that executes every time a new data point is read into DAQFactory, you can monitor any input and adjust outputs based on the reading. Or, monitor a group of inputs that describe your systems state and adjust your outputs to maintain that state.

In manufacturing, test and measurement, and many other fields you may want to run your system with a particular set of settings and then switch to a different set of settings. These are recipes, and with simple script, you can easily automate recipe loading, triggered either by time, system state, user interaction or input.

Time is integral to DAQFactory. All data points receive a time stamp. Creating delays is easy, allowing you to perform specific actions at certain time intervals. Or, wait for a particular time of day, day of the week, week of the month to perform your tasks. DAQFactory is multitasking making creating loops with different intervals easy.

Instead of buying hardware PID controllers, use DAQFactory's PID features to perform closed loop control of your system. Autotuning makes setting the PID parameters easier, along with constant display of various terms. No scripting required, but if you need more customized PID, you can create event script that allows you to extend DAQFactory's PID algorithm.

Using DAQFactory's powerful and flexible scripting engine you can create your own closed and open loop controller algorithms. The possibilities are unlimited. Since DAQFactory is completely multitasking, you can split up control loops into separate, simpler loops to make creating and maintaining the loops easy.
