Overview:
The history of ADInstruments, MacLab and PowerLab began back in 1985 with the development of the 'MacLab' recording unit and 'Chart' and 'Scope' software. It was then that Michael Macknight (co-founder of ADInstruments) was undertaking his Masters degree in Computer Science. The idea for the project came from the Department of Physiology at the University of Otago, New Zealand, who were dissatisfied with the performance of their old paper chart recorders and smoke drums they were using at the time. Realising the potential of early Macintosh computers, they asked Michael to develop a computer-based system to replace their paper-based ones. In 1985 Michael built the first MacLab an analog to digital converter that connected to a Macintosh computer. He then developed the two main software packages Chart (chart-recorder software) and Scope (oscilloscope software), which provided software control of the recording unit as well as a range of display and analysis features. In the early days, Michael began manufacturing MacLab systems for the New Zealand market only. In the late 1980s he met Boris Schlensky, an Australian with an interest in data acquisition and expertise in electronic engineering. Boris saw the potential of the MacLab system and agreed to cofound ADInstruments with Michael, to manufacture the products for the world market. ... | |
