WinDaq software has been a trusted choice for many years in acquiring, reviewing, and analysing waveform data from DATAQ devices. It is known for its reliability and ability to handle large files quickly. As engineering teams work more flexibly and use various devices, the need for a simple, web-based tool has grown. WinDaq Direct was designed to fill that requirement.

Unlike traditional desktop software, WinDaq Direct requires no installation, works across multiple operating systems, and keeps all data securely stored on your local computer.

Designed for engineers, researchers, manufacturers and test laboratories, WinDaq Direct combines high-speed Data Acquisition, advanced Waveform Analysis and a powerful Automated Test Sequencer that enables sophisticated automated testing without writing a single line of code. And best of all, it’s FREE!

WinDaq Direct Automated Test Sequencer

One of WinDaq Direct’s most powerful capabilities is the integrated Automated Test Sequencer.

Instead of writing software, engineers can create state-machine logic that automatically controls:

• Data logging
• Digital outputs
• Test timing
• Conditional events
• Multi-stage automated testing

Product Features

• No Installation Needed
  The logic engine works completely in your web browser. You don’t need to install plugins, download software, or use cloud services.
• Easy Test Builder
  Use a simple flowchart editor to create complex automated tests. You can set up states, conditions, and actions without writing any code.
• Real-Time Triggers
  You can trigger actions by analysing live signals. Keep in mind that the trigger testing refreshes about 50 times per second.
• Smart Data Logging
  Save space on your hard drive and speed up your analysis. You can set the sequencer to automatically pause and resume recording data only when specific events happen.
• Control Digital Outputs
  You can switch individual digital output pins (D0-D6) on or off. This helps you control relays, alarms, or shutoff valves based on live sensor data.
• Easy Data Sharing
  Export your entire test flow as a small JSON file. You can share test profiles with others or load them easily to keep the same testing setup on different computers.
• Step-by-Step Testing
  Create detailed tests that follow a specific order. For example, you can set steps like: Wait for a certain level → Start Logging → Wait for 5 minutes → Stop Logging → Reset.

WinDaq UtilityPack Software Add-On contains two frequency domain tools, live FFT and Spectrogram displays. It also features two visual assistants, Magic Meter and Analogue Gauge, and a programmable digital output for closed-loop control applications. Additionally, WinDaq UtilityPack Software now includes Cloud Link Add-On, a gateway to automated Email and Cloud-based applications.

Product Features

Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) shows a live frequency domain

Multiple FFT sizes: 1024, 2048, 4096,  8192, 16384 and 32768.
Three scaling options for the frequency axis, Standard, Logarithmic and Full-fit.

WinDaq Addon Spectrogram

Visualizes the frequency domain of an analogue waveform in real-time, with 3D colour-scaled waterfall spectrogram.

Analogue Gauge

Provides a programmable analogue instrumentation gauge with optional translucent background. 

Programable Digital and Alarm Outputs

Provides programable and manual digital control for closed-loop applications. Currently, only instruments running on USB mode support this feature. For example, DI-4108-E supports both USB and Ethernet modes, but you can only use this addon when DI-4108-E is running on USB mode.

WinDaq Cloud Link

Connect your DATAQ hardware with WinDaq Cloud Link to combine fast data collection with the convenience of cloud storage. This powerful WinDaq add-on collects measurement data at set time intervals or when specific conditions occur, such as CH1 > 3 & CH2 < 2. When a condition is met or a scheduled capture happens, the software packages the data and sends it to an email address you choose.

When paired with Gmail and the included extraction script for Google automation, the system can automatically parse incoming data and write it into Google Sheets. This provides an easy, hands-free way to log, monitor, and collaborate in the cloud. You will have a simple and secure process from sensor to spreadsheet, without needing subscriptions, custom APIs, or complicated IT setups.
