TracerDAQ
TracerDAQ is installed with

configured and ready-to-run virtual instruments, such as a strip chart
and oscilloscope. You can use these instruments to plot data from
the miniLAB 1008 directly to your computer. Your measurements
are plotted as they are acquired. Once acquired, you can save the measurement data to a
text or Excel file, and capture the graphical display as a bitmap. TracerDAQ online help
includes a quick start exercise that explains how to acquire and display data. You can
launch TracerDAQ from
Insta
Cal’s
Applications
menu.
