Hardware and Software Requirements |
|
Windows XP, Vista (32, 64-bit), 7 (32, 64-bit) with 300MHz processor and 128 MB RAM | |
Help Facilities | |
Built-in context-sensitive help facility supporting HLP and CHM. | |
Disk and Display | |
Maximum continuous throughput to disk: |
WINDAQ/Lite: 240 Hz throughput for all instruments. To the maximum limit of the hardware for a single channel. WINDAQ/Pro and Pro+: The maximum limit of the hardware. |
Maximum continuous real time display throughput: | Hardware Dependent (PC and data acquisition instrument). |
Waveform Display Modes: | Continuous smooth-scrolling; freeze; triggered and non-triggered sweep. Dot-joined at all sample rates. |
Display Trigger Conditions: | Selectable ±slope, level, and source. |
Waveform Compression: | Allows display rate to vary independently of sample rate. Compression factors of 1 (no compression) to 9,000. |
Number of displayed channels: | 1 to 32 |
Number of acquired channels: | 1 to 240 |
Display formats: | Overlapping (2 channel max) and nonoverlapping. |
WINDAQ/Pro+ ONLY: | Allows variable sample rates on a per channel basis. |
Maximum Data File Size: | 4GB |
Waveform Display Scaling | |
Screen scaling: | Waveform expansion, contraction, and offset per channel. |
Engineering Units Conversion: | Scale and offset applied to each channel as y=mx+b. |
Software selection of: | Amplifier gain and input configuration (for hardware products supporting programmable gain). |
Grid Scaling: |
Allows each displayed channel to be scaled between user-defined limits. |
Hard Copy | |
Supports print screen hard copy in the background regardless of disk streaming activity. | |
Event Marker and Time and Date Stamp | |
Event Marker Operating Modes: | Asynchronous manual or remote activation with or without comments. |
Maximum number of commented event markers per file: | 8,184 |
Time and Date Stamping: | Automatic for acquired data and event markers. |
Programmability | |
Hardware-dependent software selection of: | Amplifier gain, unipolar or bipolar, single-ended, differential, or thermocouple per channel. Additionally, WINDAQ/Pro+ allows software selection of sample rate per channel. |
Data Storage Format | |
16-bit, 2’s complement binary data with header and trailer information. | |
Toolbox | |
Provides a toolbox of icons used to make setup fast and virtually effortless and to otherwise customize a recording session. |
