TracerDAQ® and TracerDAQ® Pro
Compare the features
Four virtual instruments—Strip chart, oscilloscope,
function generator, and rate generator
TracerDAQ® is included with MCC hardware.
The more powerful TracerDAQ® Pro ($199) offers
additional active resources and controls. Both versions are Windows® 7/Vista™/XP/2000 compatible for PCI and USB!
TracerDAQ and TracerDAQ Pro are out-of-the-box software applications used to graphically display and store input data, and generate output signals, within minutes of installing Measurement Computing data acquisition hardware, and without the need for writing code. Each consists of four virtual instrument applications – a strip chart, an oscilloscope, a function generator, and a rate generator – which allow the user to customize appearance, store configurations for future use, and change settings – with the use of interactive hotspots – while the application is running. TracerDAQ Pro is a far more powerful package, offering more active channels, more samples per channel, and a selection of options and enhancements designed to address a myriad of test and measurement applications.
