Overview
The Daq devices have software options capable of handling most applications. Three types of software are
available:
• Out-of the-box graphical programs, e.g., DaqView, DaqViewXL, and post acquisition data
analysis programs such as eZ-PostView, eZ-TimeView, and eZ-FrequencyView.
• drivers for third-party, icon-driven software such as DASYLab and LabVIEW.
• various language drivers to aid custom programming using API; includes
DaqCOM TM ActiveX/COM support.
Out-of-theBox
TM
Software
Out-of-the-Box 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.
• 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.
• eZ-PostView provides a simple method of graphically viewing acquired waveforms from the
DaqBook Device. Up to 8 windows can be displayed on one screen, with up to 16 channels
overlaid on each window. eZ-PostView makes it simple to visually inspect acquired waveforms
from multiple channels within seconds of acquiring the data. Documentation, in Adobe PDF
format, is provided on the CD. Refer to the PostAcquisition Analysis.PDF.
• eZ-TimeView & eZ-FrequencyView
eZ-TimeView and eZ-FrequencyView are optional post-acquisition analysis packages, which are
related to eZ-PostView, but include more features. eZ-TimeView is targeted at time-domain
analysis, including min/max, peak-peak, mean, RMS, plus a wide variety of plotting and
waveform viewing capabilities. eZ-FrequencyView is targeted at post-acquisition frequency-
domain analysis, including FFT’s, octave analysis, plus dozens of other analysis features.
Documentation, in Adobe PDF format, is provided on the CD. Refer to the PostAcquisition
Analysis.PDF
.
• The Daq Configuration control panel allows for interface configuration, testing, and
troubleshooting.
