Supported Software - Data Translation DT9871 User Manual

Supported Software

The following software is available for use with the TEMPpoint, VOLTpoint, and
MEASURpoint USB instruments:
• 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, delta, 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.
• QuickDAQ FFT Analysis Option – When enabled with a purchased license key, the
QuickDAQ FFT Analysis option includes all the features of the QuickDAQ Base version
plus these features:
 The ability to switch between the Data Logger time-based interface and the FFT
Analyzer block/average-based interface.
 Supports software, freerun, or triggered acquisition with accept and reject controls for
impact testing applications.
 Allows you to perform single-channel FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) operations,
including AutoSpectrum, Spectrum, and Power Spectral Density, on the acquired
analog input data. You can configure a number of parameters for the FFT, including
the FFT size, windowing type, averaging type, integration type, and so on.
 Allows you to display frequency-domain data as amplitude or phase.
