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

Convert GBD Files to WDH Format

Data Logger > Graphtec Our new GBD to WDH converter gives you the ability to convert GBD files, created using GL220, or  GL820 series instruments, to WDH format. Resulting WDH files can be opened in the WinDaq Waveform Browser for observation and analysis. For convenience, and to maintain 16-bit resolution, a high-res version of the WinDaq Read More

Reducing Sample Rates Even Further

Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq Frustrated because you can’t sample as slowly as you’d like? Assuming that you want to acquire data any slower than a sample every 9 or 10 minutes, you’re likely bumping up against the minimum sample rate limit in WinDaq. To follow up on a recent blog post concerning slow Read More

Slow Sample Rates Explained

Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq If you’re new to WinDaq and attempting to acquire data at rates less than 1 sample per second, it’s easy to get confused. This is especially true using multiplexed data acquisition systems. Choosing a sample rate above 1 sample per second is pretty straight forward. Say you want to Read More

Scaling Non-Zero Offsets With WINDAQ Software

Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq It wouldn’t be unreasonable to assume that a transducer, at a resting state, would output zero volts. In reality, this is rarely the case. Fortunately, features in WinDaq allow you to scale non-zero offsets. Using real-world examples, our updated application note on the subject shows you how to factor in DC offsets Read More

Strain Gage-Based Transducer and Amplifier Selection and Calibration

Data Acquisition > Mixed Measurements Check out our updated application note on the selection and calibration of amplifiers for strain-gage based transducers. This is an in-depth guide to selecting a transducer/amplifier combination based on supply voltage (excitation) requirements and the sensitivity (gage factor) of both the transducer and amplifier. Scaling to display engineering units (lbs, psi, etc.) using Read More

Configuring the All-new EL-WiFi-TH Using EasyLog WiFi Software

Data Logger > Lascar > EL-WiFi Series EasyLog WiFi software allows you to easily configure your EL-WiFi-TH wireless temperature and humidity data logger, and upload and analyze recorded data. Once the EL-WiFi software is installed, with the EL-WiFi-TH connected via USB, you can disconnect the 802.11b compliant data logger from the PC and configure it Read More

New 32-bit Convert Beta Available

Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq It took the popularity of 64-bit operating systems for us to realize how popular our free conversion software had become. This utility allows you to convert your data files of a variety of different formats into the WDQ format so you can take advantage of the also free WinDaq Read More
