The recorded file formats can basically be converted
into any other format, such as MAT, ASCII and many
others. If binary files (BIN) have been recorded, there
are also import filters for programs such as Glyph
Works, FAMOS and others.

Monitoring functionality
Since catman[ 5.0 a new module for monitoring applica
tions is introduced, which might be helpful as well for
other applications. The key features of this module are
explained below.
Important
All these functions are not included in catman
Easy,
which comes with the CX22B. They need an additional
EasyMonitoring license or a catman®AP license.
- Parallel data recorders
A data recorder is similar to a DAQ job in that is has its
own start/stop conditions, storage file and other settings.
But while ordinary DAQ jobs can not run in parallel,
recorders can do this! A good example for the use of
recorders is the monitoring of a railway bridge, where
each of two tracks should be monitored separately.
A data recorder always belongs to a normal DAQ job.
This DAQ job is the "parent" or "base" job for the
recorders. Each base job can have a subset of up to 15
data recorders where each recorder runs a separate and
independent data storage process based upon individual
start/stop trigger conditions. It has its own set of chan
