In General

WinDaq Acquisition is a Windows™-based data acquisition software package that gives any of our hardware products simultaneous real time display and data storage to disk capability.

Record waveform data to disk in the background while running any combination of programs in the foreground.

Monitor the real time display in a smooth scroll or triggered sweep mode of operation, scaled to any unit of measure.
And much, much more.
