RSS FeedsData Acquisition > Voltage > DI-730 It was a good, long run, but the strip chart recorder our customer had used for years was finally being replaced with a state-of-the-art PC-based data acquisition system. The recorder had become unreliable, and the paper records were tedious to analyze, and difficult to archive. The only problem was Read More

WinDaq Cuts Maintenance Costs in Steel Mill
Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq A steel mill customer wanted to predict bearing failure in the huge ladles they use for pouring molten steel since unscheduled shutdowns greatly complicate the repair process and significantly increase maintenance costs. The ladle is placed on a turret and filled with molten steel. The turret, riding on the Read More
Export-to-Excel Add-on Beta for WinDaq Waveform Browsers
Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq Ask customers what they want to do with acquired data, and the vast majority answer, “Take it to Excel.” Although our WinDaq Playback software has always supported an Excel-compatible CSV export option, the process was cumbersome and not very flexible. We fixed that. DATAQ Instruments is proud to announce Read More
Demonstrating the Power of Advanced CODAS – A Real-World Example
Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq > Advanced CODAS We’ve touched on several features of Advanced CODAS, demonstrating the ease with which you can integrate, differentiate, and peak detect waveforms without leaving the WinDaq Waveform Browser. In this example we’ll break down a real-world application, demonstrating how several Advanced CODAS functions are used in concert Read More
Performing a Periodic Reset of the Integral Function in Advanced CODAS
Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq > Advanced CODAS When integrating a waveform using Advanced CODAS, the Periodic Reset feature allows you to reset the integral function after a user-specified period of time (number of data points). In this example, featuring the new Advanced CODAS user interface (in beta), we’ll integrate a flow rate waveform Read More
Perform a Level Reset While Integrating a Waveform Using Advanced CODAS
Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq > Advanced CODAS The ‘Integral’ function in Advanced CODAS alloys you to perform a level reset when integrating a waveform. In this example we’ll integrate a flow rate waveform to derive flow volume, and reset the integral function at a specific level (3 gallons in this case). Resetting the Read More
Integration Using Advanced CODAS
Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq > Advanced CODAS As most of you remember from Calculus, integration allows you to determine the area under a curve. This is particularly handy in the field of data acquisition and analysis when attempting to determine the flow volume (or total flow) of a gas or liquid through a Read More
Filter Out High Frequency Noise Using the Moving Average Feature in Advanced CODAS
Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq > Advanced CODAS The Moving Average function in Advanced CODAS allows you to filter out high frequency noise from lower frequency periodic waveforms (a Low-pass filter) or eliminate a drifting baseline when acquiring high frequency waveforms (a High-pass filter). In this example, featuring the new Advanced CODAS GUI, we’ll Read More
Using the Derivative Function to Differentiate a Waveform With the New Advanced CODAS Graphic User Interface (GUI)
Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq > Advanced CODAS The new Advanced CODAS GUI makes easy work of differentiating a waveform with respect to time. With a single mouse click you can determine the rate of change of a waveform; be it from displacement data, to determine the rate at which an object is moving, Read More
New Advanced CODAS User Interface
Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq > Advanced CODAS DATAQ Instruments’ Advanced CODAS software is a versatile tool for analyzing WinDaq-recorded data files. The package offers waveform integration, differentiation, peak detection, and much more. It has a long history of revealing subtleties in acquired data, but has been hindered by a rather clumsy user interface. Read More
