Microstar Laboratories, maker of data acquisition processor (DAP) boards and systems, has announced Dapstudio 2.5 - a new release of the Dap Measurement Studio application.
Dapstudio 2.5 displays live data in several formats, including bar graph, line graph, and waterfall.
Each format has an optional 3D view.
The 3D view makes it easy to see different shapes on different channels.
With the flat view you can measure values more precisely.
Tool buttons let you toggle between the views.
The waterfall line-graph implementation gives a quick overview of millions of data points through a moving window, and lets you look at spectra over both frequency and time simultaneously.
Optional rotating colors for the waveforms in a waterfall graph allow a specific spectrum to move back in time with the same color.
Real-time response adds extra degree of freedom.
Dapstudio makes it easy to develop a PC-based measurement system with one or more Dap boards.
Each Dap board gives your system an additional processor running a real-time operating system - Dapl - that you control from a Windows application.
This extra resource gives you room to make your application even better.
It frees your application from system delays.
It lets you apply computing power when and where needed.
It means you can sample data and control a process anywhere, anytime.
You can analyze spectra in real time.
Your application responds reliably: in time, every time.
Two or more Dap boards, in the same PC or on a network, can work together as a single synchronized system using Dap-to-Dap communications.
