Ready-to-run DAQ software
By Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 10/1/2006
A new software application from Data Translation can help you acquire data from the company’s USB or PCI data-acquisition products. With the .NET-compatible quickDAQ, you can acquire and plot data in real time at acquisition rates up to 2 Msamples/s.
The software lets you specify input channels and how to display data using numerical, graphical, or gauge readouts. You can view data in real time or store it for analysis later. You can also export data from quickDAQ into other applications such as Excel or Matlab for analysis.
When you install quickDAQ, you get a toolbar that provides access to measurement functions that let you operate your instruments and display data. To build an application, you drag and drop displays from a palette. You can enter mX+b factors to convert voltage readings from sensors into engineering units.
Price: $195. Data Translation, www.datatranslation.com.
