Data Translation has introduced DTscope, a free software application for its USB and PCI data acquisition (DAQ) hardware.
Developed for the current Windows operating systems XP and Vista, DTscope provides the functionality and user interface of a classical multi-channel chart recorder/oscilloscope.
Users of DT data acquisition modules and boards from Data Translation can choose from four ready-to-run versions, which are available for download from the manufacturer's website.
The application is easy and intuitive to use.
Ready-to-run solutions are designed for different hardware/application areas, so that the system is up and running in minimum time.
The DTscope application features the typical functionality of a 16-channel oscilloscope/chart recorder for long-term data acquisition and offers a range of triggering options.
All measurement data can be saved to disk continuously; the memory capacity is only limited by the size of the PC's hard drive.
Users can scroll the live display any time during data acquisition and/or load the stored data later for post-analysis.
The software provides all the necessary functions, including auto-scaling, display of multiple signal axes, and various zoom and cursor functions.
The stored data can also be exported to ASCII format for further processing using other applications, such as Excel.
A special DTscope version has been developed for the DT9837 and DT9837-A USB modules with 24-bit IEPE/ICP inputs.
This version provides additional features including an FFT for sound and vibration measurements.
