Reference Notes

The software documents: 

DaqView

ViewXL

, and 

Post Acquisition Data Analysis User’s 

Guide

, are available in PDF version. 

 

 

During software installation, Adobe

®

 PDF versions of user manuals will automatically 

install onto your hard drive as a part of product support.  The default location is in the 

Programs

 group, which can be accessed from the 

Windows

 

Desktop

.  Refer to the PDF 

documentation for details regarding both hardware and software. 

Note that the PDF documents can be read directly from the CD by using the <

View PDFs

button located on the opening install screen.   

 

A copy of the Adobe Acrobat Reader

®

 is included on your CD.  The Reader provides 

a means of reading and printing the PDF documents.  Note that hardcopy versions of the 
manuals can be ordered from the factory. 

 

Drivers for Third-party, Icon-driven Software 

 

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
.   

 

LabVIEW® 

The DaqBoard/500 Series boards are fully supported by our data acquisition VIs for LabVIEW and include 
engineering data conversion, data display and logging capabilities.  Refer to our 

IOtech LabView VIs PDF

 

(p/n 471-0902) for details.  All pertinent software and hardware manuals can be found on your data 
acquisition CD or the tech-manuals download page of or web-site. 

 
 

DaqCOM Driver 

The DaqCOM™ suite of programming allows applications developers to rapidly develop and deploy 
custom systems by leveraging COM (Component Object Model) technology. DaqCOM does this by 
providing a powerful easy-to-use interface to most programming languages including, Visual Basic®, 
VBA, C++, and J++. In addition, DaqCOM supports the new Windows.NET architecture and includes 
examples for VisualBasic.NET and C++.  Support for VisualStudio.NET is accomplished via the 
COMInterop feature within VisualStudio.NET.
