DaqView

The DAQLab/2005 is an Ethernet device. It can be connected to the computer directly via the network adapter port or plugged into a network via a network switch. The DAQLab/2005 does not require a crossover cable, it can be plugged directly into a computer or network. It is best to have the computer already running, then turn on the DAQLab/2005 and wait about 1 minute for the device to auto-negotiate with the network or PC. Of course you can manually set the IP address of the DAQLab/2005, but it can do DHCP. Once it has connected itself to the PC, run DaqIPConfig.exe (Start >> All Programs >> DaqX Software >> DaqIPConfig). If the device is connected to the network, this program will find it, display the Device name (DAQLab/2005), the IP address and the Serial number. You can also use this app to change the IP address of the unit if needed (don’t do this if using DHCP) Keep DaqIPConfig running, and launch DaqXCPL.exe (Start >> All Programs >> DaqX Software >> DaqXCPL). Run them side by side. Left mouse click on ‘Add Device’ button, the Select Device Type dialog box appears. From the Device Type combo box, select the DAQLab/2005 and click on ‘OK’, the DAQ* Configuration dialog box appears. Referring to the DaqIPConfig app or the serial number sticker located on the DAQLab/2005, enter the serial number of the device into the DAQ* Configuration dialog, and press ‘OK’. Now you can close both apps and run DaqView. If this is the first time DaqView has been run or if a different DAQ device is no longer present, click on “Select Device”. When the Select Device dialog appears, select your DAQLab/2005 and click on ‘OK’, and you are ready to go.

I’m sorry but the DaqView software does not allow individual channels to set to either single ended (SE) or differentially ended (DE). It’s all one way or the other.

Hello - Depending on the age of your DaqBoard/2000 it may not work in newer computer that support the 3.3 volt PCI bus. Look at the connector that plugs into the PCI slot – it should have two slots which means it works with both the 5 volt PCI and the 3.3 volt PCI. The following link will install the drivers and the DaqView program for Windows 8: http://www.mccdaq.com/downloads/iotech_software/DaqBoard_1000_2000_Series/daqviewsetup.exe

Hello Benny, DaqView is not compatible with the PersonalDaq/56. For the PersonalDaq/56 you will need to use PersonalDaqView. PersonalDaqView can be downloaded here: http://www.mccdaq.com/downloads/iotech_software/PersonalDaq50_Series/ For the latest support please download the pdaqviewsetup_x86_x64.exe file.

The DaqView software was never given the ability to read system time and because of this there is no possibility for an absolute timestamp. Instead you may want to consider upgrading to the DASYLab software as it has both absolute and relative time stamping capabilities. Overall the DASYLab software provides a better file handling experience.
