3.1 Can I stream my measurement data to any 3rd-party softwares such as Matlab, ROS, Raspberry Pi?
It is possible to communicate with external software using UDP network communication, but you will need to write your own communication protocol. In some cases, we may be able to help you write what you need under a programming contract. If you want to try, go to the “Automatic Control” tab of our software, and go to the script called “Network-UDP”. There is an example script to get you started with UDP communication:
