How to Use AND/OR Logic in ExcelLink
ExcelLink is an extremely useful WinDaq add-on, allowing you to stream data, in real time, into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. There are lots of trigger options in ExcelLink that allow you to stream data only when certain conditions are met. The “&” and “|” keys allow you to set multiple conditions. For example, you can Read More
Stand-Alone Data Acquisition at up to 160,000 Samples/Second
The 32GB USB flash drives included with all DI-2000/4000 series data loggers (excluding the DI-2008) allow for stand-alone sample rates up to 10K S/s (10,000 samples per second)*. Sampling faster than 10K S/s (throughput) to the included USB flash drive typically results in an intermittent RED ‘Status’ LED, and generates several individual data files on Read More
Interleave Annotation Characters with Graphics Grid Lines in WinDaq
Occasionally, we come across a scenario where WinDaq doesn’t look quite right (see below). In order to interleave annotation characters with graphics grid lines, WinDaq acquisition and WWB both use fixed fonts from file C:\Windows\Fonts\coure.fon. This is not distributed with our application because it is normally installed as part of Windows. That folder is hidden, Read More
Open a File and Record Data in WinDaq
It has come to our attention that some WinDaq users are having trouble recording data. Upon choosing ‘Record’ from the ‘File’ pull-down menu, they’re never prompted for a file name or file size/record time. While we haven’t been able to duplicate this behavior here at DATAQ as of yet, we do have a workaround for Read More

WinDaq ExcelLink Allows You to Specify a Worksheet
Released earlier this year (2025), the ExcelLink add-on provides a real-time bridge between WinDaq and Microsoft Excel. In previous releases of ExcelLink, it was only possible to stream data into the first worksheet (the default). Recent ExcelLink updates allow you to select a workbook, and choose a specific worksheet into which your data will stream. Read More
Event, State, Count Data Logging – Dry vs. Wet Contacts
In the world of data acquisition, the ability to count events, determining how often those events occurred and when, is a fairly common request. Event, State and Count data loggers like the DI-2160 allow you to do just that. Designed specifically for this purpose, event, state and count data loggers do not acquire signal levels Read More
Observe Temperature Variations with the FLIR Thermal Imaging Camera
Thermal imaging cameras allow technicians and engineers to troubleshoot and identify troublesome issues. While you can feel hot and cold, unless it’s glowing red or covered in ice crystals, you can’t visualize those temperature extremes with the naked eye. DATAQ Instruments now offers the FLIR One Pro thermal imaging camera, allowing you to detect heat Read More
