You can set preferences for Personal DaqView through the Preferences dialog box found under the View
pull-down menu of the Main Control Window.
− Allows you to select "untitled" or "pDaq" configurations for the default filename used by
General
Personal Daq. Note that Personal DaqView automatically loads the last saved configuration file. The
second part of the General screen pertains to configuration file settings.
Measurement Units
Window's spreadsheet. Note that scale and offset automatically reset to a pre-designated default according
to the unit selected.
Note: Changing the measurement unit defaults does not immediately affect the Channel Configuration
Window's spreadsheet columns. For example: If you set your voltage default to µV, but the
channels are set with V units, they will retain the V units. However, changing these channels to
temperature, then back to voltage would result in the default units (µV) and the associated scale &
offset. The new default units are also applied to all channels when a new configuration file is
created.
