Omega OMB-DAQSCAN-2000 Series Manuale Utente

 

 

This chapter provides a brief overview of Daq devices.   

should skip directly to chapter 2. 

 

Daq equipment and software form a modular, interrelated family of products that provide 

great flexibility in data acquisition system design.  This flexibility allows for the development 

of custom systems that are unique to the user, and which can be optimized for his or her 

specific application needs.  With the Daq product line, system expansion or redesign can 

typically be accomplished with relative ease.   

 

• 

Primary Acquisition Device.  This is the main data acquisition device, e.g., a 

DaqBook, DaqBoard, DaqLab, DaqScan, or Daq PC-Card.  These devices provide a vital 

data conversion and communications link between the data source of transducers and 

signal conditioners and the data processor of the host computer.   

  

• 

DBK Option Cards and Modules.  Over 35 DBK cards and modules (the number is 

constantly growing) provide various types of signal conditioning and system expansion. 

Note that certain DBK modules exist for the purpose of supplying power to other 

members of the acquisition system. The DBK options are discussed in the DBK Option 

Cards and User’s Manual (p/n 457-0905). 

Note:  Only passive DBKs, such as the DBK1 BNC module, the DBK11A screw terminal 

card, and the DBK40 BNC analog interface, can be used with a Daq PC-Cards.

 

 

 

Reference Note: 

DBK options are discussed in the DBK Option Cards and Modules User’s 

Manual (p/n 457-0905).  As a part of product support, this manual is 

automatically loaded onto your hard drive during software installation.  The 

default location is the Programs directory, which can be accessed through the 

Windows Desktop. 

 

• 

Software. DaqView out-of-the-box software provides a graphical user interface with 

easy to read spreadsheet formats for viewing channel data, as well as a choice of analog, 

digital, and bar-graph meters.  Waveform analysis can be performed, when applicable.  

A product support option, included on the data acquisition CD, provides a means of 

performing post data analysis.  More information is included in the software-specific PDF 

documents that are installed on your hard-drive as a part of product support. 

In addition to the included out-of-the-box software, Daq products can be controlled via 

user-written custom programs through Applications Program Interface (API).  Several 

languages are supported, e.g., C/C++, and VisualBASIC.  

Note that third party icon-driven software, such as DASYLab and LabView, can be used 

with the Daq devices.
