Example: Creating Measurement Studio App• Setting up the project—Using the Measurement Studio Application Wizard, we will

create a new project that references the Measurement Studio Analysis class library and Windows Forms controls.

• Adding user interface controls to the project—Using the Toolbox, smart tags, and the Properties window, you will add and configure a button, waveform graph, legend, gauge, and numeric edit user interface control.

• Generating, plotting, and analyzing the data—Using WhiteNoiseSignal and Mean, you will generate data, plot the generated data on a waveform graph, and calculate the mean of the data.

• Customizing the user interface—Using smart tags and the Collection Editor and Auto Format dialog boxes, you will display the mean value on the gauge and the numeric edit, as well as customize your user interface.
