Supported Software - Data Translation DT9837A User Manual

Supported Software

The following software is available for use with the DT9837 Series modules and is included on
the Data Acquisition OMNI CD:
• DT9837 Series Device Drivers – Two device drivers are provided in the DT9837 Series:
one for the DT9837 module and one for the DT9837A, DT9837B, and DT9837C modules.
The DT9837 Series Device Drivers allow you to use a DT9837, DT9837A, DT9837B, or
DT9837C module with any of the supported software packages or utilities.
• DT9837 Series Calibration Utility – This utility, described in
111, allows you to calibrate the analog input and analog output circuitry of a DT9837
Series module.
• QuickDAQ Base Version – The base version of QuickDAQ is free-of-charge and allows
you to acquire and analyze data from all Data Translation USB and Ethernet devices,
except the DT9841 Series, DT9817, DT9835, and DT9853/54. Using the base version of
QuickDAQ, you can perform the following functions:
− Discover and select your devices.
− Configure all input channel settings for the attached sensors.
− Load/save multiple hardware configurations.
− Generate output stimuli (fixed waveforms, swept sine waves, or noise signals).
− On each supported data acquisition device, acquire data from all channels supported
in the input channel list.
− Choose to acquire data continuously or for a specified duration.
− Choose software or triggered acquisition.
− Log acquired data to disk in an .hpf file.
− Display acquired data during acquisition in either a digital display using the Channel
Display window or as a waveform in the Channel Plot window.
− Choose linear or logarithmic scaling for the horizontal and vertical axes.
− View statistics about the acquired data, including the minimum, maximum, and mean
values and the standard deviation in the Statistics window.
− Export time data to a .csv or .txt file; you can open the recorded data in Microsoft
Excel® for further analysis.
− Read a previously recorded .hpf data file.
− Customize many aspects of the acquisition, display, and recording functions to suit
your needs, including the acquisition duration, sampling frequency, trigger settings,
filter type, and temperature units to use.
