ADVANTECH A-DAQ Pro

A-DAQ Pro Introduction ƒ Intensity Control: It offers two-dimensional display and simple interpolation What is A-DAQ Pro ? for scattered 3D data points so that the user can conveniently check the intensity A-DAQ Pro is a collection of ActiveX controls for performing I/O operations within any variation trend of scattered 3D data points. compatible ActiveX control container, such as Visual Basic, Delphi, etc. You can easily perform the I/O operations through properties, events and methods. With A-DAQ Pro, you can perform versatile I/O operations to control your Advantech devices. The A-DAQ Pro package contains the following components: ƒ Advantech ActiveDAQ Pro Device Control: Enumerate all Advantech devices, direct I/O operation. ƒ Advantech ActiveDAQ Pro AI Control: Retrieve data from Advantech AI device. ƒ Advantech ActiveDAQ Pro AO Control: Export data to Advantech AO device. ƒ Advantech ActiveDAQ Pro Digital I/O Control: Digital I/O operation. ƒ Advantech ActiveDAQ Pro Thermo Control: Retrieve temperature by thermocouple measurement. ƒ Advantech ActiveDAQ Pro Counter Control: Counter input signal. ƒ Advantech ActiveDAQ Pro Pulse Control: Pulse signal output. You can use these ActiveX controls in any development tool that supports them, including ƒ Knob Control: It is a circular data controlling control that provides various graph LabView, Microsoft Visual C++. Microsoft Visual Basic, Borland C++ Builder, Borland styles and can be used to display one or more values on the same interface. Delphi, and Microsoft Visual Studio.NET. ƒ LED Control: This control provides data display and editing functions with the seven-segment nixie tube mode. ƒ NumEditor Control: This control provides the user with the functions of data displaying and editing. After the Formatstring has been chosen or defined by What's New in A-DAQ Pro ? the user, the values of the control will be adjusted automatically according to the In the latest version of the ActiveDAQ series: A-DAQ Pro, efforts have been made to improve FormatString and displayed in the text edit box. on the technical aspects and to provide a clear-cut mode of operation, as explained in ƒ Slider Control: It is a linear data controlling control that provides various graph the following summary: styles. A Slider control can be used to set or display one or more values. Graphic User Interface Control Components Advantech A-DAQ Pro GUI control collection consists of abundant of graphic user interface (GUI) control components, which enable users to conveniently and quickly build graph display modules for data acquisition so as to supervise the changing status of the object. A-DAQ Pro GUI control collection also helps users easily develop prototype vision applications in an interactive environment without programming. These control components include: ƒ Button Control: It offers various display styles (2D and 3D) and is a Boolean control that displays an on or off state (True or False). ƒ Graph Control: This control provides abundant graph display functions, which enable the user to display data of various sources simultaneously. Data Acquisition Boards A-DAQ Pro Introduction Supports All Advantech DAQ Devices with High Speed Functions Uses Optional Lists Instead of Direct Input A-DAQ Pro now fully supports all Advantech DAQ cards and functions with complete Now lists are provided with values which remain limited over various processes. This high speed data acquisition, including AI (analog input), AO (analog output), DI/O (digital option is much more convenient to input and will eliminate a large portion of the direct input/output) and counter cards. These high speed functions are preformed by interrupt data input. and DMA data transfer. Default Settings for Immediate Execution Easy-to-use Property Sheet Interface for Configuring Controls Proper default settings have now been added to all methods and properties. That means The property page will offer selections which will give easy access to all settings and quicker execution for the user, which will offer a prompt response. eliminate unnecessary programming. Programming will only be required in specialized situations. Properties and Parameters are Chosen Automatically When the user opts for some specific methods in A-DAQ Pro it can result automatically in Independent Operation of Controls appropriate properties and parameters. For example, A-DAQ Pro control can automatically A-DAQ Pro offers total independent control operation, needing no support from other determine an appropriate data transferring method to perform the data acquisition. existing controls. (Software, interrupt and DMA transfer) Parameter Check-up and Correction Each input parameter has to be within a certain range. As a result it has to have check-up to ensure legitimacy. In most cases the user will be notified and in others there will be an automatic correction. Better Defined Error Messages and Diagnostic Guide A-DAQ Pro offers clear error messages description and diagnostic guides for all return errors. Supports All Widely Known Development Platforms A-DAQ Pro support Microsoft Windows 2000/XP and Vista operation system. As with the previous version, ActiveDAQ 1.6x, it continues to support all widely known development platforms based on ActiveX technolygy. These platforms include LabView, Microsoft Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual Basic.Net, Visual C#, Borland C++ Builder and Delphi. What Utilities Does A-DAQ Pro Support? Uses Known Physical Properties A-DAQ Pro supports several useful utilities and they can really help you to save time on Physical properties like voltage, current and frequency can now be directly applied programming. The WaveScan 2.0 utility, can let you easily do the real-time monitoring by the user and will automatically be reassigned to the data needed by GainCode and with Advantech's devices including acquire signal and display waveforms. You can also sampling rate. Making these changes has ensured that A-DAQ Pro has become much save data as an excel file for further analysis with it. If you want to measure temperature, more user friendly. voltage and electric current directly, you can choose the Virtual Multimeter. It just looks like a multimeter you are always using so its interface is very easy and friendly. For the Virtual Oscillograph, it can do the functions that are similar to a Real Digital Storage Oscilloscope. You can adjust VOL/DIV scale, shift cursor, set trigger even do the single seq function with this utility. System Requirements ƒ PC with at least a 266 MHz or higher microprocessor ƒ Microsoft Windows 2000/ XP/ Vista ƒ VGA compatible graphics card, supporting at least 256 colors ƒ Minimum 64 MB of RAM ƒ 74 MB of free local hard disk space ƒ One CD-ROM driver Ordering Information ƒ PCLS-ADPSTD-AE ActiveX Control-based Software for DAQ Straightforward User Interface The new version has become less-hardware dependent and it has relied more on intuition during the user interface. During the redesigned process, the target was to decrease the development difficulties. It has become easier for both entry level and advanced level users to manage.
