PC Measurement Software: DAQSoft

DAQSoft is the data acquisition and visualisation software for the computer-controlled IMTRON measurement systems DASIM and SIQUAD. DASIM (universal amplifier for more than 14 sensors) and SIQUAD (modular amplifiers with excellent cost/performance ration) have 2- respectively 4-channel amplifiers for use with most different sensors in test benches for automotive, mechanical engineering, and R&D applications. They offer sensor excitation, galvanic insulation, signal conditioning, analog and/or digital measurement data output with high precision.

A measurement can be done in only 4 steps

1. Parameter setting with DaSoft,
2. Choice and set-up of channels in DAQSoft,
3. Setting triggers in DAQSoft,
4. Connecting with the system and start measurement.

Parameter setting for all amplifiers is first done with DaSoft. Sensor data can be stored in a sensor database for later on automatic system configuration. Integration into a customer-specific parameter setting software is possible via a communication DLL.

The following settings are done with DaSoft:
  • Type of sensor, measurement ranges, sensor excitation and further options for the functionality of the amplifiers.
  • Sample rate 1 Hz to 40 kHz, block size, sensor range (nominal value) and unit for collection by the central unit ZE, and as base for the data acquisition software.

DAQSoft offers essentially the following features

Measurement
Measurement over time, X/Y measurement; measurement with several systems and different IP addresses; acquisition of GPS data and route tracing synchronous with measurement data; Acquisition of Video data from a DigiCam synchronous with measurement data; signal acquisition of various data formats from a CAN Interface; different settings for triggers, combined with level monitoring; recurring measurement (serial measurement); measurement with online view and pre-monitoring.

Visualisation and processing
Visualisation of data in a graph, as instantaneous value (analog, numerical) and in tabular form; real-time indication; analysis of saved measurements with zoom and cursor modes; comparison of measurements; combination of measurements; mathematical post-processing of selected measurement channels; post-filtering of selected measurement channels; analysis with FFT and power spectrum.

Exports, reports, miscellaneous
Export function into other data formats like Famos, Diadem, ASCII, MATLAB; generating different reports in Internet Explorer, MS Word, MS Excel; event-logging with log file; project based directory structure.

Drivers for other acquisition software like DASYLab, DIAdem, and LabVIEW are optional available.
