5 microDAQ Configuration Webserver
5.1 Introduction.
The microDAQ web Configuration provides the means of setting up, calibrating and demonstrating
the microDAQ unit from a standard PC with an ethernet port and browser. It replaces the old
microDAQSetup program provided with the microDAQ-Mk1.
The software is divided by tabs into seven areas of functionality, namely 'Setup’, 'Live data',
'Calibration', 'DTC Information’, ‘Advanced’, ‘Timestamp’ and ‘Factory Tools’
'Setup’ provides the means to set microDAQ’s operating parameters and its identification
information. The unit's function may be checked and demonstrated using 'Live Data' to show
attached pressure scanner raw readings and microDAQ’s calibrated output. 'Calibration' gives
access to microDAQ's existing on board, non DTC calibration coefficients, the tools for performing
a new calibration, namely calculating and downloading new coefficients, and the means to
managing calibration data. Data from the calibration procedure and resulting coefficients may be
loaded, stored and exported for filing, reuse and examination in other packages. 'DTC Information'
provides a means for interrogating a DTC variant of the microDAQ, the user having access to
identification information, the current status of the calibration shuttle valve and both excitation and
temperature voltages. ‘Advanced’ has extra functions that some users might not need but might be
necessary for other users. ‘TimeStamp’ provides a means for the user to control the timestamping
settings of the microDAQ . ‘Factory Tools’ provides some functionality to read DTC coefficients and
current scanner values and change the MAC address of the Ethernet hardware. This tab is not
readily available to everyone and further detail is beyond the scope of this document.
