Overview
DaqBoard/500 Series boards have several software options. Three types of software are available:
Out-of the-box
graphical programs, e.g., DaqView, ViewXL, and post acquisition data
analysis programs such as eZ-PostView, eZ-TimeView, and eZ-FrequencyView.
drivers for third-party, icon-driven software such as LabVIEW.
various language drivers to aid custom programming using API; includes
DaqCOM

ActiveX/COM support.
Out-of-theBox
TM
Software
Out-of-the-Box programs are convenient for fill-in-the-blank applications that do not require programming
for basic data acquisition and display:
DaqView
is a Windows-based program for basic set-up and data acquisition. DaqView lets you
select desired channels, gains, and a host of other parameters with a click of a mouse. DaqView
lets you stream data to disk and display data in numerical or graphical formats.
ViewXL
allows you to interface directly with Microsoft Excel to enhance data handling and
display. Within Excel you have a full-featured Daq control panel and all the data display
capabilities of Excel.
eZ-PostView
provides a simple method of graphically viewing acquired data. Up to 8 windows
can be displayed on one screen, with up to 16 channels overlaid on each window. eZ-PostView
makes it simple to visually inspect acquired waveforms from multiple channels within seconds of
acquiring the data. Documentation, in Adobe PDF format, is provided on the CD. Refer to the
PostAcquisition Analysis.PDF
.
eZ-TimeView & eZ-FrequencyView
eZ-TimeView and eZ-FrequencyView are optional post-acquisition analysis packages, which are
related to eZ-PostView, but include more features. eZ-TimeView is targeted at time-domain
analysis, including min/max, peak-peak, mean, RMS, plus a wide variety of plotting and
waveform viewing capabilities. eZ-FrequencyView is targeted at post-acquisition frequency-
domain analysis, including FFT’s, octave analysis, plus dozens of other analysis features.
Documentation, in Adobe PDF format, is provided on the CD. Refer to the
PostAcquisition
Analysis.PDF
.
The
Daq Configuration control panel
allows for interface configuration, testing, and
troubleshooting.
DaqView
can only be used with one DaqBoard at a time.
LabVIEW
can be used with multiple boards.
For multiple board use (via custom programming) refer to the Using Multiple Devices
section of the Programmer’s Manual or to DaqCOM documentation.
