Start WinDaq

WinDaq Data Acquisition software allows you to view and record data in real time to your PC. When you choose a device and Start WinDaq a live display appears on the screen.

  1. Click on the device (or devices) you would like to run WinDaq. You may choose: (a) one Unsynced device; or (b) multiple Synced devices from the same Synced group.
  2. Click on the Start WinDaq button. You may have multiple devices open by performing steps 1 to 2 for each desired instrument whether it is in an Unsynced or Synced group - however these devices will not record synchronous data. If you are running a group of Synced devices together (i.e., a Session) the Change Session Settings dialog box will open. You MUST enter desired settings - you may not change them for that session once WinDaq is open.
  3. One instance of WinDaq Acquisition software will open for each device.
  4. Change channel settings, calibration, and display options independently for each device using each instance of WinDaq. Most WinDaq menu items are available when recording synced devices with the following exceptions: The Open and Record menu items in the File Menu are not available; The Triggered Mode, Triggered Storage, and Remote Storage menu items in the Options Menu are not available.
  5. Click the Start Recording button to record data from synced devices to disk. Press F4 or use the File > Record command in WinDaq Acquisition to record data from each unsynced device to disk.
