Reference Notes:

The software documents: DaqView, ViewXL, and Post Acquisition Data Analysis User’s

Guide, are available in PDF version.

During software installation, Adobe® PDF versions of user manuals will automatically install onto your hard drive as a part of product support. The default location is in the Programs group, which can be accessed from the Windows Desktop. Refer to the PDF documentation for details regarding both hardware and software.

Note that the PDF documents can be read directly from the CD by using the <View PDFs> button located on the opening install screen.

A copy of the Adobe Acrobat Reader® is included on your CD. The Reader provides

a means of reading and printing the PDF documents. Note that hardcopy versions of the manuals can be ordered from the factory.

Drivers for Third-party, Icon-driven Software

DaqView can only be used with one DaqBoard at a time.

LabVIEW can be used with multiple boards.

For multiple board use (via custom programming) refer to the Using Multiple Devices section of the Programmer’s Manual or to DaqCOM documentation.

LabVIEW®

The DaqBoard/500 Series boards are fully supported by our data acquisition VIs for LabVIEW and include engineering data conversion, data display and logging capabilities.

DaqCOM Driver

The DaqCOM™ suite of programming allows applications developers to rapidly develop and deploy custom systems by leveraging COM (Component Object Model) technology. DaqCOM does this by providing a powerful easy-to-use interface to most programming languages including, Visual Basic®, VBA, C++, and J++. In addition, DaqCOM supports the new Windows.NET architecture and includes examples for VisualBasic.NET and C++. Support for VisualStudio.NET is accomplished via the COMInterop feature within VisualStudio.NET.
