Having disposed of the misconception that synthetic instruments are
slow, let me knock down the mistaken idea that synthetic instruments
lead to a "more significant software task for the end user or system
integrator".
Here we have one of those falsehoods that derives a good deal of
plausibility from its proximity to the truth. Indeed, synthetic
instruments are software. Thus it is nearly a tautology to
say that creating synthetic instruments involves software, to some
extent. They certainly will involve more software than a natural
instrument created out of measurement specific hardware. For example,
a mercury thermometer has little, if any, software involved in its
"system integration" or end use. A digital thermometer, on the other
hand, would certainly involve some software.
If you are irrationally scared of software, a nurse may terrify you by
revealing that there's software in the thermometer she's stuck under
your tongue. If, instead, you are irrationally afraid of mercury,
maybe the thought of inserting a fragile, glass encapsulated vial of
the deadly silver fluid into your body sends shivers down you spine.
In any case, we can dismiss these irrational fears as quite tangential
to a reasoned discussion of the merits of instrument design.
Perhaps the assertion that synthetic instruments create a more
significant software task for the end user or system integrator isn't
merely a tautology, nor is it an expression of software anxiety. Maybe
it's trying to claim that synthetic instruments somehow are more
work, and that this extra work involves software.
If this is the actual claim, I can only ask: "more work that what?"
What are synthetic instruments being compared against? Against legacy
test gear – so called "traditional" instrumentation? Is that the
comparison? Because if it is, I think the assertion is clearly
false. In fact, the whole reason the synthetic instrument concept was
originally created was to avoid the massive software effort
surrounding the maintenance of legacy test gear in automated test
equipment (ATE).
Let's say you have thousands of ATE systems deployed in your
operations, each of which comprises a score of measurement-specific
instruments in rack mounted or modular packages. Let's also say that
you have spent billions of dollars writing test programs to run the
instruments in these ATE systems, and that you are really happy with
how it all works.
What do you do when the legacy, measurement-specific instruments in
your ATE racks start to get old? Hardware instruments aren't
manufactured forever, and the day will come sooner or later when you
no longer can buy the same make and model of your legacy
instruments. Maybe you can't even buy new instruments to plug into the
now-obsolete modular packaging scheme that was once as popular as
disco music. Changing even one modular instrument requires that you
change them all.
What do you do? Do you buy new measurement specific instruments, plug
them into new mainframes, and rewrite millions of lines of test
program code? To me, that sounds like a significant software task for
the end user or system integrator.
Synthetic instruments were conceived as an alternative to this
quandary, and thereby were conceived as a way to reduce the
software task for the end user or system integrator. If we can
synthesize an instrument purely in portable software that runs or
measurement-generic hardware, then maybe if we do our job right we can
actually replace, upgrade, or otherwise alter the underlying hardware
without changing a single line of test program code.
It should be clear, therefore, that synthetic instruments, properly
done, will not increase the software task involved in maintaining or
upgrading legacy ATE. Quite the contrary: they reduce or even
eliminate it.
