Software Utility

Advantech offers device drivers, SDKs, third-party driver support and application
software to help fully exploit the functions of your iDAQ system. All these software
packages are available on the Advantech website: http://www.advantech.com/.
The Advantech Navigator is a utility that allows you to set up, configure and test your
device, and later store your settings in a proprietary database.
1. To set up the I/O device, you could first run the Advantech Navigator program
(by accessing Start/Programs/Advantech Automation/DAQNavi/Advantech Nav-
igator). The settings could also be saved.
2. You can then view the device(s) already installed on your system (if any) on the
Installed Device tree view. Once the software and hardware installation have
completed, you will see the iDAQ modules in the Installed Devices list.

Software Development Using DAQNavi SDK

DAQNavi SDK is the software development kit for programming applications with
Advantech DAQ products. The necessary runtime DLL, header files, software man-
ual and tutorial videos could be installed via XNavi installer. They could be found
under C:\Advantech\DAQNavi (default directory) after the finishing the installation.

Application Software DAQNavi MCM

DAQNavi MCM is an application software focusing on high-speed data acquisition,
data monitoring and network access. It provides a graphical interface for users to
achieve DAQ configuration, data pre-processing, feature extraction, user-defined for-
mula calculation and output settings to upload data. All the settings could also be
saved to a project file for further parameter management. On top of that, the data log-
ging function is also available in DAQNavi/MCM. All the data could be saved not only
in local storage, but also in remote storage.
By introducing the DAQNavi/MCM, the DAQ system could become an IoT-solution-
ready edge device. For more information, please search for DAQNavi/MCM on the
Advantech Support Portal (https://www.advantech.com/support).

FPGA Code Update

The FPGA could also be updated via the interface in Navigator. However, it isn't nor-
mal to move on to an FPGA update. Advantech strongly suggests you to consult your
technical support before starting an FPGA update.
