LightningChart Pro, the fastest chart / graph library for .NET
24 February 2010
Arction has developed the most powerful measurement signal chart/graph plotting library for .NET running with Windows. It can draw more A/D data than any other control installable on Microsoft Visual Studio. It leaves much CPU power free for example real-time digital signal processing.
The product is brand new and has just been released.
The brutal power of the LightningChart is achieved by utilizing modern graphics processors in innovative ways, and it doesn’t stress computer CPU practically at all, in typical solutions. Arction's products keep going on with sample rates and point counts where all other chart controls get delayed, freeze or crash.
Arction's products allows developing super-fast data acquisition and real-time analysis solutions on Windows or Windows-based embedded platform, like oscilloscopes and signal analyzers.
The product is available in two editions: Pro and Basic.
- Pro is the full version, having the all the features, maximum data handling capacity and performance. A versatile signal generator library is included for fast software development, so the developer can program the software without actual acquisition hardware. One developer license costs 3000 EUR (4173.09 USD). Volume licensing discounts are available.
- Basic is a “budget version”, with restricted features and performance. One developer license costs 400 EUR (556.52 USD). Volume licensing discounts are available.
