General Information

The WinDaq® Waveform Browser (WWB) allows you to review, examine, and otherwise analyze waveform data previously recorded to disk with WinDaq Acquisition software, or any hardware/software package capable of storing data in the CODAS data storage format.

Using the WinDaq Waveform Browser, you will be able to perform the following functions:

• Retrieve a data file and examine its contents by moving the waveforms in either a positive or negative time direction (i.e., right-to-left, or left-to-right). Waveforms may be smooth scrolled (panned) across the screen to achieve maximum waveform continuity, or paged in a manner that allows the entire screen to be updated one screen width at a time.
• Enable a cursor allowing you to measure the value at any point on the waveform.
• Measure time differences between two points on the same or different waveforms.
• Copy and paste (export) waveforms from the original data file to a separate data file for more detailed analysis.
• Select a specific file conversion format that will allow other software-based analysis packages such as Lotus 1-2-3, ASYSTANT and ASYST to read the data.
• And much, much more.

This help file covers WinDaq Waveform Browser software for Windows™ and is intended for users of all proficiency levels. The reference information at the beginning describes how to start the WinDaq Waveform Browser, what you will see when in the WinDaq Waveform Browser, and how to navigate within the WinDaq Waveform Browser. After the reference information, each command or function is described in detail.
