Data File Accessibility
PostView post-data-acquisition software supports several programs, including: ChartView, DaqView,
LogView, Personal DaqView, TempView, 
and WaveView.  These six acquisition programs create data files
that can be viewed and analyzed in PostView after the acquisition has been completed.
PostView makes use of ASCII (
.txt
) or PostView Binary (
.iot
) files.  However, most acquisition
programs create the data files in raw binary format (
.bin
) during the acquisition.  For these programs, a
conversion of the file format must be completed before PostView can access the data.  A further explanation
follows:
 
Personal DaqView, DaqView, LogView, and WaveView create raw binary (
.bin
) formatted
files during the data acquisition.  After the acquisition is complete, these programs convert the
.bin
 
formats to 
.iot 
or 
.txt
 formats (as determined by the user).  PostView can then
access the re-formatted data.
 
ChartView and TempView create 
.iot
 or 
.txt 
formatted data files during the acquisition.
Since PostView makes direct use of these formats, charts can be updated in “real-time” while
the acquisition is in progress.
Reference Note:  Refer to PostView's Help file for data file information relating to specific
data acquisition programs.  Note that some data acquisition programs can convert data
formats to 
.sma
 format for Snap-Master or 
.dat
 for DADiSP.
Note:
This chapter is based on PostView version 3.x.  PostView 3.x is used in 32-bit applications, and
PostView 2.x is used in 16-bit applications.  Most differences between these versions exist at the
program level and are not visible to the user.
