ChartView
ChartView is a Windows-based setup and acquisition application which provides a graphical stripchart-
style user interface that allows the easy configuration of hardware, acquisition, and display parameters.
Compatible with both Windows 3.X and Windows 95/NT, ChartView features a no-programming
approach that enables data collection and display within minutes of unpacking the TempScan/1100 or
MultiScan/1200. ChartView is designed for users new to this kind of software, and for users with
more-powerful less-resource-limited PC systems.
TempView
TempView is a Windows-based setup and acquisition application which provides a graphical
spreadsheet-style user interface that allows the easy configuration of hardware, acquisition, and display
parameters. Compatible with both Windows 3.X and Windows 95/NT, TempView features a no-
programming approach that enables data collection and display within minutes of unpacking the
TempScan/1100 or MultiScan/1200. TempView is designed for users already familiar with earlier
versions of TempView, and for users with less-powerful resource-limited PC systems.
PostView
In addition to ChartView or TempView data-logging software, each software package includes
PostView, a Windows-based post-acquisition data-review program. PostView can be launched from
within TempView or as a stand-alone Windows application. It provides a stripchart recorder-like
graphical display for scrolling through previously acquired data files. PostView also allows
simultaneous display of up to 16 channels, and provides independent cursors for each channel.
ScanCal
Also included with ChartView or TempView data-logging software is ScanCal, a Windows-based
application that automates instrument calibration. ScanCal provides familiar pull-down and toolbar
menus for easy calibration within the Windows 3.X or Windows 95/NT environment.
