Instrumentation Components for Delphi and C++ Builder
 TMS Instrument Workshop (TMS Software)
http://www.tmssoftware.com
The TMS Instrumentation workshop consists of over 80 instrumentation components for Delphi and C++ Builder. There are a good selection of buttons, switches, LEDs, meters and other display components. Some of these can be seen in our EasyScope application program which was developed in Delphi. Priced from US$75.00 (single user), this represents exceptionally good value for money. Delphi and C++ Builder developers should also consider the TMS component pack which contains a wide variety of useful extensions to the standard component
palette.
Zeigler Collection 1 (ZeiglerSoft)
http://www.zieglersoft.dk
The Zeigler Collection 1 consists of around 115 components for Delphi and C++ Builder including many suitable for instrumentation applications. Like the TMS Instrument Workshop, there are a good selection of buttons, switches, LEDs, meters and other display components and has many standard components as well. Priced from US$55.00 (single user), this again represents exceptionally good value for money.

If your application requires a complex mathematical or scientific component suite at an affordable price, the SDL Component Suite would be an excellent choice to consider. As well as FFT analysis, it has a wide range of functions for Maths, Chemistry, Analysis, Display, Plotting and Charting (including 3D) functions. With prices starting at around Euro 66, it too represents excellent value for money.

LabView (National Instruments)
http://www.ni.com
Being an instrumentation site, we can hardly not mention LabVIEW from National Instruments, the pioneers of visual environments for virtual instrument development and undoubtedly the most popular tool of it's kind in the world. Now at version
8, it supports a huge variety of instrumentation and scientific requirements including networking and Internet technologies, measurement analysis and digital signal processing. As well as Windows, the LabVIEW development environment is also available for Solaris, Linux and Mac OS based platforms. At the time of writing, the LabVIEW Base package (Windows) was priced at US$995 whilst LabVIEW Professional (Windows) was priced at US$3,495 if you live in the United States. Prices do vary from country to country so check the NI web site for the latest pricing in your country of residence.
