Drivers for Third-party, Icon-driven Software
LabVIEW® Support
We provide LabVIEW® support for expansion and signal conditioning modules. Our data
acquisition VIs for LabVIEW are more than just simple hardware access VIs, they are complete
with engineering data conversion, data display and logging capabilities.
DASYLab®
If your application requirements go beyond the scope of DaqView, you may want to consider
DASYLab software, as the latter offers a greater degree of flexibility and customizing.
Language Drivers
Each Daq system comes with an Application Programming Interface (API). API-language
drivers include: C/C++, and Visual Basic. The latest software is a 32-bit version API.
DaqScan/2000 Series devices are supplied with DaqX Subroutine API Libraries. These provide
complete support for all of the functionality available on each data acquisition device in Visual
Basic®, and C/C++. In addition, DaqX is supported under all versions of Windows®. Over
100 program examples are included with DaqX Subroutine API Libraries. API documentation
is provided in a Programmer’s Manual (p/n 1008-0901), which is included on the installation
