Overview
The Daq devices have software options capable of handling most applications. Three types
of software are available:
• Out-of the-box graphical programs, e.g., DaqView, DaqViewXL, and post acquisition
data analysis programs such as eZ-PostView, eZ-TimeView, and eZ-FrequencyView.
• drivers for third-party, icon-driven software such as DASYLab and LabVIEW.
• various language drivers to aid custom programming using API; includes
DaqCOM TM ActiveX/COM support.
Out-of-theBox TM Software
Out-of-the-Box programs are convenient for fill-in-the-blank applications that do not require
programming for basic data acquisition and display:
• DaqView is a Windows-based program for basic set-up and data acquisition.
DaqView lets you select desired channels, gains, transducer types (including
thermocouples), and a host of other parameters with a click of a PC’s mouse.
DaqView lets you stream data to disk and display data in numerical or graphical
formats.
• DaqViewXL allows you to interface directly with Microsoft Excel to enhance data
handling and display. Within Excel you have a full-featured Daq control panel and all
the data display capabilities of Excel.
• eZ-PostView provides a simple method of graphically viewing acquired waveforms
from the acquisition device. Up to 8 windows can be displayed on one screen, with up
to 16 channels overlaid on each window. eZ-PostView makes it simple to visually
inspect acquired waveforms from multiple channels within seconds of acquiring the
data. Documentation, in Adobe PDF format, is provided on the CD. Refer to the
PostAcquisition Analysis.PDF.
• eZ-TimeView & eZ-FrequencyView
eZ-TimeView and eZ-FrequencyView are optional post-acquisition analysis packages,
which are related to eZ-PostView, but include more features. eZ-TimeView is
targeted at time-domain analysis, including min/max, peak-peak, mean, RMS, plus a
wide variety of plotting and waveform viewing capabilities. eZ-FrequencyView is
targeted at post-acquisition frequency-domain analysis, including FFT’s, octave -
analysis, plus dozens of other analysis features. Documentation, in Adobe PDF
format, is provided on the CD. Refer to the PostAcquisition Analysis.PDF.
• The Daq Configuration control panel allows for interface configuration, testing,
and troubleshooting.
