Displaying Digital Inputs in WinDaq
Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq It’s come to our attention that there’s some confusion when it comes to enabling a digital channel and displaying digital input in WinDaq Data Acquisition Software. In this example, we’ll enable a digital channel, and show how digital inputs are displayed. Follow Us
See the All-New Advanced CODAS Interface in Action
Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq > Advanced CODAS Advanced CODAS is a waveform analysis package that adds sophisticated analysis functions, not otherwise available in the WinDaq Waveform Browser playback software. Unchanged for a number of years, the Advanced CODAS interface has undergone a significant makeover. All of the features remain, but with a modern Read More
New Advanced CODAS User Interface
Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq > Advanced CODAS DATAQ Instruments’ Advanced CODAS software is a versatile tool for analyzing WinDaq-recorded data files. The package offers waveform integration, differentiation, peak detection, and much more. It has a long history of revealing subtleties in acquired data, but has been hindered by a rather clumsy user interface. Read More
Convert GBD Files to WDH Format
Data Logger > Graphtec Our new GBD to WDH converter gives you the ability to convert GBD files, created using GL220, or GL820 series instruments, to WDH format. Resulting WDH files can be opened in the WinDaq Waveform Browser for observation and analysis. For convenience, and to maintain 16-bit resolution, a high-res version of the WinDaq Read More
Reducing Sample Rates Even Further
Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq Frustrated because you can’t sample as slowly as you’d like? Assuming that you want to acquire data any slower than a sample every 9 or 10 minutes, you’re likely bumping up against the minimum sample rate limit in WinDaq. To follow up on a recent blog post concerning slow Read More
Slow Sample Rates Explained
Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq If you’re new to WinDaq and attempting to acquire data at rates less than 1 sample per second, it’s easy to get confused. This is especially true using multiplexed data acquisition systems. Choosing a sample rate above 1 sample per second is pretty straight forward. Say you want to Read More
Scaling Non-Zero Offsets With WINDAQ Software
Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq It wouldn’t be unreasonable to assume that a transducer, at a resting state, would output zero volts. In reality, this is rarely the case. Fortunately, features in WinDaq allow you to scale non-zero offsets. Using real-world examples, our updated application note on the subject shows you how to factor in DC offsets Read More
Strain Gage-Based Transducer and Amplifier Selection and Calibration
Data Acquisition > Mixed Measurements Check out our updated application note on the selection and calibration of amplifiers for strain-gage based transducers. This is an in-depth guide to selecting a transducer/amplifier combination based on supply voltage (excitation) requirements and the sensitivity (gage factor) of both the transducer and amplifier. Scaling to display engineering units (lbs, psi, etc.) using Read More
Configuring the All-new EL-WiFi-TH Using EasyLog WiFi Software
Data Logger > Lascar > EL-WiFi Series EasyLog WiFi software allows you to easily configure your EL-WiFi-TH wireless temperature and humidity data logger, and upload and analyze recorded data. Once the EL-WiFi software is installed, with the EL-WiFi-TH connected via USB, you can disconnect the 802.11b compliant data logger from the PC and configure it Read More
