There are two general categories of software that can be used for PC-based data acquisition applications:
Turnkey software
Application development environments
AD-Logger ADLINK is turnkey logging software that provides a productive and flexible solution for data acquisition applications. In addition to performing basic tasks such as data acquisition and saving to disk, data logging software tools should provide a means to manage configuration of measurement hardware, scaling of data from the system channels. ADLINK’s AD-Logger is a configuration based
software tool that you can use to define and perform data logging tasks.
AD-Logger provides basic tools for data acquisition for all ADLINK DAQ devices. In addition to providing data collection and monitoring functions, it allows graphing of collected signal data, performing zoom observation, file logging and dynamic transfer to third-party software (i.e. Microsoft Excel, NI® DIADem, and MathWorks MATLAB®) for post analysis. A system with compatible ADLINK DAQ devices and AD-Logger installed enables immediate data collection and monitoring. Sampling conditions are easily configurable through the ADLINK DAQPilot interactive wizard without the need for programming.
