The Daq devices have software options capable of handling most applications. Three types of
software are available:
• ready-to-use graphical programs, e.g., DaqView, DaqViewXL, and post acquisition
data analysis programs such as eZ-PostView
• drivers for third-party, icon-driven software such as DASYLab and LabView
• various language drivers to aid custom programming using API
Ready-to-use programs are convenient for fill-in-the-blank applications that do not require
programming for basic data acquisition and display:
•
DaqView is a Windows-based program for basic set-up and data acquisition. DaqView
lets you select desired channels, gains, transducer types (including thermocouples),
and a host of other parameters with a click of a PC's mouse. DaqView lets you
stream data to disk and display data in numerical or graphical formats. PostView is a
post-acquisition waveform-display program within DaqView.
•
DaqViewXL allows you to interface directly with Microsoft Excel to enhance data
handling and display. Within Excel you have a full-featured Daq control panel and all
the data display capabilities of Excel.
•
A post acquisition data analysis programs, e.g., eZ-PostView, typically allows you to
view and edit post-acquisition data.
•
The Daq Configuration control panel allows for interface configuration, testing, and
troubleshooting.
Each Daq system comes with an Application Programming Interface (API) via a subroutine
library (DAQ) or an ActiveX/COM based library (DaqCOM). API-language drivers include:
C/C++, and Visual Basic. The latest software is a 32-bit version API.
