ABSTRACT
Virtual Instrumentation allows organizations to eectively harness the power of the PC to access, analyze, and share information throughout the organization. With vast amount of data available from increasingly sophisticated enterprise-level data sources, potentially useful information is oen le hidden due to a lack of useful tools. Virtual instruments can employ a wide array of technologies such as multidimensional analyses and Statistical Process Control (SPC) tools to detect patterns, trends, causalities, and discontinuities to derive knowledge and make informed decisions.
