WinDaq Monitors and Documents Control Rod Drive Welds

Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq Products Involved: DI-500, WinDaq/Pro Software Inserting graphite control rods into the fission process controls the rate of nuclear fission in a nuclear power plant. The rate of nuclear fission is inversely related to the amount of graphite present in the system. Our customer manufactures a circular welding tool used Read More

Ready-to-run PC-based Data Acquisition Software

Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq You can take the programming out of PC-based data acquisition and still enjoy all the advantages offered by computer technology. Just make sure the ready-to-run PC-based data acquisition software you choose has the features you need. There’s a common misconception regarding personal computers, data acquisition, and programming. It seems Read More

Casting off with WinDaq Software and the DI-730

Data Acquisition > Voltage > DI-730 Sport fishermen would recognize the product immediately. Though this one was rigged to a metal tub filled with water, most fishermen are used to seeing the product attached to the bow of a bass boat where it allows the skipper to easily and quietly maneuver the boat for a Read More

Data Acquisition Gain and Dynamic Range Considerations

Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq Attempting to acquire a millivolt level signal with too low a gain factor is like trying to read a license plate from a hundred yards away. In order to read the plate you would need some sort of magnification, a pair of binoculars perhaps. In the realm of data Read More

Thermocouple Measurements Profile Cement Curing Characteristics of Prosthetic Implants

Data Acquisition > Thermocouple > DI-1000TC Introduction It’s obvious that prosthetic implants have changed the lives of countless thousands for the better. Knee, hip, and shoulder replacements are common surgeries today, substituting diseased or damaged joints with synthetic materials that allay pain and simultaneously restore mobility and quality of life. Not as obvious is the Read More

How To Connect and Calibrate Thermocouples Using DI-8B47 Series Amplifiers

Data Acquisition > Thermocouple Thanks to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), thermocouple wire is color coded to indicate thermocouple type and polarity. This takes the guesswork out of connecting thermocouple wires to your DI-718B, DI-718Bx, or DI-788. In this example, we’ll show you how to connect and calibrate a K-type thermocouple using a DI-718B, 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

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

Displaying Digital Inputs in WinDaq

Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq It’s come to our attention that there’s some confusion when it comes to enabling a digital channel and displaying digital input in WinDaq Data Acquisition Software. In this example, we’ll enable a digital channel, and show how digital inputs are displayed.  Follow Us

See the All-New Advanced CODAS Interface in Action

Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq > Advanced CODAS Advanced CODAS is a waveform analysis package that adds sophisticated analysis functions, not otherwise available in the WinDaq Waveform Browser playback software.   Unchanged for a number of years, the Advanced CODAS interface has undergone a significant makeover. All of the features remain, but with a modern Read More
