Founded in 2001, LabJack is a popular manufacturer of robust industrial data acquisition (DAQ) modules that allow developers and system integrators to extract data from sensors and control actuators via analog and digital inputs and outputs. LabJack’s USB, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet-based solutions are used for applications ranging from commercial installations to laboratories to building systems that require the measurement of speed, light, sound, vibration, temperature, gas concentration, and more. Data from sensors and actuators are transmitted via a LabJack to a server or PC.

In this article, developers and system integrators can learn how in three easy steps (and less than 15 minutes), they can transform LabJack’s readings into usable and actionable IoT data. Using Machinechat’s JEDI One for PC or Mac, developers and system integrators will be able to process LabJack data at the edge and do the following:

Configure web-based real-time and historical reporting through data, device, and system view dashboards
Setup rules, alerts, and notifications
Enable configurable local data storage

In addition to the above, JEDI One allows developers and system integrators to:

Create action plugins that run when certain data parameters are met
Monitor critical network devices
Reduce or even eliminate cloud-computing costs and time spent in developing custom software

The instructions included in this how-to apply to any LabJack DAQ solution, including:

LabJack Option Cards
Labjack Controllers
