.Net Class for Data Acquisition Starter Kits (Beta)

Data Acquisition > Software > .NET Class We’re proud to announce a beta version of a .Net class for data acquisition that supports our newer data acquisition starter kits, models DI-155, -149, and -145. This  class provides access to all the hardware’s features from any .Net programming environment. Supported functions are: Connected device discovery Analog Read More

“Cannot allocate socket” Error when Attempting to Set a Static IP Address

Data Acquisition > Ethernet It has come to our attention that many Windows 7 and 8 users are having difficulty assigning static IP addresses to their DI-710, DI-718B and DI-718Bx Ethernet instruments. When choosing ‘Set Static’ from the DATAQ Instruments Hardware Manager pull-down menu, they receive a “Cannot allocate socket” error. The error is the result of security Read More

Low Frequency Measurements Using 8B45 Amplifiers

Data Acquisition > Mixed Measurements DATAQ Instruments sells an amplifier into applications that require frequency measurements in the range of 500 Hz to 100 kHz full scale. The model is DI-8B45, and it’s sold with different suffix numbers that each defines a fixed full scale range in Hz or kHz. The amplifier is useful when Read More

New High Voltage Module for GL7000 Data Acquisition System

Data Logger > Graphtec > GL7000 New GL7-HV Module Measures 2V to 1000V Checkout our latest module release for the GL7000 Data Acquisition and Data Logger System. The new GL7-HV offers two high-voltage measurement channels. It has a measurement range of 2 V to 1000 V full scale across 9 programmable settings, and supports sample Read More

EL-USB Series Data Loggers and Calibration

Data Logger > Lascar Recently, there’s been some confusion when it comes to calibration and EL series temperature data loggers. The fact that we offer a NIST traceable calibration certificate (sold separately) has led some to believe that a certificate must be purchased in order for the logger to be calibrated. On the contrary, EL Read More

An Overview of the All-New GL7000

Data Logger > Graphtec > GL7000 The GL7000 is a modular data acquisition system, configurable for a wide array of industrial applications. The unit is well constructed and has a solid feel. The base unit (without modules) measures 7.60”W x 5.55”H x 6.30”D and weighs in at approximately 4.9 pounds.   Expansion modules (at least Read More

Nothing is Found in the DATAQ IP Manager When Attempting to Run WinDaq with a DI-720/730 Ethernet Instrument

Data Acquisition > Ethernet In the last few months, a number of customers have reported that their DI-720/730 Ethernet instruments were no longer appearing in the DATAQ Instruments IP Manager. In fact, nothing appears at all, not even a Synced or Un-Synced group. Following some investigation here at DATAQ, it became apparent that a Windows Read More

Jumping a DI-5B Module Socket

Data Acquisition > Mixed Measurements Use these pass-through connections to jumper a module socket so the channel passes through to the instrument: Connect "I/O Common" to "-In" Connect "Vout" to "+In"  Follow Us

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
