Software
WaveView is a graphical Windows-based program for use in WaveBook applications. This program allows
users to acquire data for immediate viewing or for storage to the PC's hard disk. WaveView’s
“spread-sheet” style interface makes it easy to set up your application quickly and begin acquiring data
within minutes of completing hardware connections. No programming knowledge is required.
From WaveView you can:
•
Set up all analog or digital input parameters.
•
Acquire and save data to disk.
•
View the acquisition in real-time.
•
Send data to other Windows applications, such as spreadsheets and databases.
•
Launch an independent, post acquisition data analysis program. Analysis programs, such as Post View,
DIAdem, and eZ-View, provide a means of viewing and analyzing data that was previously acquired
with WaveView.
WaveView is detailed in the WaveView/WaveCal Document Module, which is loaded onto your hard drive as
a part of product support, during software installation. The default location is the Programs file directory.
Post Acquisition Data Analysis Software
Post Acquisition Data Analysis Software is included as part of the Out-of-the-Box application software.
A document module provides information on the applicable application, for example, DIAdem, PostView,
or eZ-View.
Documentation for the applicable analysis application is included in the document module entitled,
Post Acquisition Data Analysis Software. The document module is loaded onto your hard drive as a part of
product support, during software installation. The default location is the Programs file directory.
Calibration Software
WaveBooks are calibrated at the factory, prior to shipment. However, the units must be periodically
re-calibrated.
WaveCal (a WaveBook calibration application) is included as a part of WaveBook product
support. The application is discussed in the WaveView/WaveCal document module, which is included as a
part of the product support [PDF] documentation package.
