How To Install Model DI-245 Under Windows XP
Data Acquisition > Voltage > DI-245 Since our new model DI-245 voltage, millivolt, and thermocouple data acquisition system was released after Microsoft very vocally discontinued support for Windows XP, the instrument is the first in a long while that does not natively support that operating system. We’ve since learned to our chagrin that Microsoft continues to Read More
Introducing the DI-245 Voltage and Thermocouple Data Acquisition System
Data Acquisition > Voltage > DI-245 DATAQ Instruments is pleased to introduce the all-new DI-245 Voltage and Thermocouple data acquisition system. The DI-245 provides four analog inputs that can be individually configured to measure voltage or thermocouple data. With 12 programmable measurement ranges from ±50V to ±10mV, the DI-245 provides resolution up to 1.2µV. The DI-245 Read More
Discontinued Support for Windows XP
Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq As you may have heard, Microsoft has discontinued support for Windows XP, effective April 8th, 2014. After a 12-year run, Microsoft will no longer release updates or security patches for the widely embraced operating system. Consequently, DATAQ Instruments will also end support for Windows XP. While we will continue Read More
Error Binding UDP Port 1234
Data Acquisition > Ethernet It’s come to our attention that some DI-720/730 Ethernet users are having trouble communicating with their instruments. Upon running the DATAQ TCP/IP Manager, users receive an error message stating that there is an “Error Binding UDP Port 1234” and that the IP Manager cannot continue. We are working hard to determine Read More
Acquire Data in Minutes
Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq WinDaq data acquisition software allows you to acquire data in minutes! So you’ve chosen a DATAQ Instruments data acquisition system or data logger, you’ve connected the instruments to your PC, and you’ve successful installed the software. Now what? How do you record data? WinDaq data acquisition software allows you Read More
Save a Segment of Data as a Second, Smaller File
Data Acquisition > Software > WinDaq The WinDaq Waveform Browser allows you to select a segment of data, and save it as a second, smaller file. Suppose you have a very large data file, recorded over several days, or even weeks. Now suppose that that file contains a significant event that transpired in a matter of Read More
Data Logger vs. Data Acquisition
Data Acquisition or Data Logger If you need to digitize an analog signal, record it, and provide a method to analyze it, do you need a data logger or a data acquisition system? It has become increasing clear that the answer is ‘Yes’ to both products. What I mean is that the traditional definitions of Read More
How To Measure Current
Data Acquisition > 4-20mA Current Loop …current is always measured indirectly from an external sensor that produces a voltage output that is proportional to current. Since the only difference between a voltage and current measurement is the scaling that you apply to the result, voltage measuring instruments are almost always used to measure current. Read More
WinDaq System Used in Bridge Monitoring
Data Acquisition > Ethernet > Distributed Synchronous The I-35W Mississippi River Bridge in Minneapolis, MN connects Downtown East to Marcy-Holmes. Following its catastrophic failure on August 1, 2007, a decision was made to rebuild the bridge with a state-of-the-art monitoring system. The contractor chose DATAQ Instruments hardware and software for the job due to our expertise Read More
