How To Make 4-20 mA Current Loop Measurements

Data Acquisition > Current Additional Reading: 4-20 mA Shunt Resistor and Current Loop Data Acquisition Products It seems that at least one 4-20 mA (milliamp) measurement is required by our typical customer, and the way to do it is a constant source of confusion for many. So I thought I’d zero in on the various 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

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

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

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
