Summary
Designed for high accuracy and resolution, the 22-bit Personal Daq data acquisition systems directly measure multiple channels of voltage, thermocouples, pulse, frequency, and digital I/O*. A single cable to the PC provides high-speed communication and power to the Personal Daq. No additional batteries or power supplies are required in most applications**.

The Personal Daqs are supplied with Personal DaqView, IOtech’s Windows®-based data logging application that allows you to set up your acquisition applications and save acquired data directly to disk. The Personal Daqs also include PostView, a post acquisition application that permitsyou to display acquired data previously saved to a file. Drivers for Visual Basic® and C/C++ are also included. In addition, drivers are available for icon-based software packages, such as DASYLab® and NI LabVIEW™.

Signal Conditioning and Expansion
Both the Personal Daq/55 and the Personal Daq/56 can be easily expanded with one of two available PDQ snap-on expansion modules, bringing the total capacity up to 60 analog or thermocouple channels, 32 digital I/O lines, and 4 frequency input channels. Furthermore, USB hubs can be used to create multi-unit systems.

* The Personal Daq/54 does not have frequency, digital I/O, or expansion capability
** In rare instances an external power source is required when PC-supplied power is inadequate
Included Software
Personal DaqView Personal DaqView is IOtech’s included Out-of-the-Box graphical data acquisition software, is an easy-to-use yet powerful application. It allows users to configure a test, and display or record data within minutes, without programming. Together with included PostView post-acquisition viewer software, Personal DaqView offers the most functionality of any included software of its kind.
NI LabVIEW™ Support NI LabVIEW™ Support is organized in a tiered modular architecture allowing improved VI customization and rapid device integration capabilities. Block diagrams have consistent wiring conventions which greatly increase the ability to adapt VI’s to specific application needs. Diagrams are well annotated to minimize application design effort. Clean, easy to understand front panels allow end users to quickly configure channel and acquisition settings.
PostView PostView is a time and frequency domain post-acquisition data viewing package which is integrated and ready to use from within your View package when you install it. PostView provides easy to use basic time and frequency domain data viewing for IOtech data acquisition View packages including DaqView, WaveView, Personal DaqView, LogView, and ChartView.
Additional Software
DASYLab® Software DASYLab® Software lets you interactively develop PC-based data acquisition applications by simply attaching functional icons. DASYLab offers real-time analysis, control, and the ability to create custom graphical user interfaces (GUIs). What’s more, in contrast to other graphical programming environments, which can require weeks of training to master, DASYLab has a very short user-learning curve. Many applications can be configured in a few minutes, rather than days or weeks.
