Before Operation
Software Construction of DAQLOGGER
DAQLOGGER consists of the following 14 software applications.
• Software Manager
This program is started first and manages the startup of other DAQLOGGER software
applications.
It also manages multiple projects.
• A project refers to the set of DAQLOGGER settings that corresponds to each user
or purpose. It contains the settings of all software applications that are described
below. Using Software Manager, you can create multiple projects and store them.
By switching projects, you can easily switch between different sets of settings that
have been stored previously.
• You can limit the range of operation by assigning one of three levels, “Supervisor,”
“Operator,” or “User,” to a project.
• You can assign a password for each project and limit the operation (password
protection).
• You can hide the taskbar and icons of Windows so that other programs cannot be
started (desktop protection).
Software Manager is in charge of the user interface provided on the Logging Software
that carries out data scanning and recording and the Report Software that creates
reports. For details, see the description of the respective software application.
For the operation procedure of Software Manager, see sections 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5.
• Logging Software
The Logging Software collects the measured/computed data from the recorder at
specified intervals. This action is called “scan.” It also stores the scanned data to the
hard disk at specified intervals. This action is called “record.”
The Logging Software never appears on the screen. The following operations are
carried out through Software Manager:
• Start/Stop scanning.
• Start/Stop recording.
• Set scanning conditions (scan interval, start timing, and operations of the
computation channels at the start of the scanning operation) and recording
conditions (record interval, data storage directory, file name, and division of stored
files).
• Set the function that automatically reconnects the recorder.
Display the information (scan interval, record interval, start time of recording,
estimated stop time of recording, file name of recording, and number of recorded data
points) on the data being scanned and recorded.
For the operation procedure of the Logging Software, see section 2.9.
