DATAQ Instruments Application Notes and News

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

DI-159 PLC Connection with a Mac Computer

Data Acquisition > PLC > DI-159 PLC Using the DI-159 PLC on a Mac Computer Just follow these simple steps to use your DI-159 PLC on a Mac computer. In these instructions we were using a Mac Book Pro with OS X Version 10.8.3. Plug the DI-159 into a USB port on your Mac computer. 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

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

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

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

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

NEW Wireless Data Logger for Temperature Measurements

Data Logger > Wireless NEW Wireless Data Logger EL-WiFi-T Measures Temperature from -20 to +60°C (-4 to +140°F) DATAQ is proud to announce the release of the latest EL-WiFi Data Logger, a low-cost series of data loggers that feature wireless communication to any PC over just about any wireless network (802.11b-compliant). Each wireless data logger Read More
