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.

Allows calculated channels, derivative, integration, moving average, automatic file management, automatic scaling, and more.

The Waveforms displayed in windows 1 and 3 are the Advanced CODAS inputs. Advanced CODAS applied the desired analysis, calculates the resulting waveforms, and outputs the results in windows 2 and 4.

Product Features

• Disk Streamer Performance
  Generates calculated channels of any length limited only by the size of your hard drive.
• Insert and Overwrite Modes
  Advanced CODAS allows calculated waveforms to overwrite or append themselves to existing channels.
• Menus Or Batch Files
  A single keystroke from the Playback screen activates the Advanced CODAS menu system of easy-to-use scripts. Simply enter calculation parameters, and activate the function. Often-used scripts may be combined into a batch file.
• 7 Calculation Functions
  Differentiator, Integrator, Rectifier, Moving Average Filter, Arithmetic Operations Utility, Peak and Valley Detector, and Report Generator. (see below for more details)

Calculation Functions

• Differentiator
  Calculates a rate of change waveform with built-in, adjustable low pass filtering.
• Integrator With 4 Reset Methods
  Generates the area bounded by the curve reset on zero crossing of the input waveform, level of the output waveform, time, or as a function of an external event.
• Rectifier
  Used in the analysis of polarized signals, this function produces a rectified view of any waveform. Supported rectification functions are absolute value (full wave), and positive and negative unipolar (half wave).
• Moving Average Filter
  (Also referred to as a boxcar integrator.) Use this utility for filtering noise, or for generating mean waveforms. The function can also simulate a high pass filter to eliminate base line shifting.
• Arithmetic Operations
  This function allows you to combine waveforms as a function of arbitrary mathematical formulas. Also supports phase shifting of selected waveforms in precise increments.
• Peak and Valley Detector
  Detects cycle-by-cycle inflection points (minimum and maximum excursion) on any periodic waveform. Allows peak-only, valley-only, and peak and valley selections.
• Report Generator
  Generates a report of peak detected waveforms in spreadsheet (CSV) or ASYST/ASYSTANT format. Reports value at peak, value at valley, rate, and mean. Rate information may be reported in Hz, cycles per minute, or an interval in seconds. Reports values cycle-by-cycle, or on a multiple cycle averaging basis.

Real-time data logging directly to Microsoft Excel (supports MS Office 2003 or higher).
No programming required.
Free Trial Version.

WinDaq/XL is a program that bridges WinDaq software with Excel. The WinDaq/XL software will allow you to use your Excel program to analyse WinDaq data in real time. This is achieved by taking WinDaq waveform data and moving it directly to a user-selected range of cells in Excel.

Product Features

• Real time data logging directly to Microsoft Excel
• Compatible with MS Office 2003 or higher – Excel MUST be installed as 32-bit version – New Advanced  ExcelLink software supports both 32 and 64-bit Excel
• Computer Time Stamp field
• Trigger Options
• “Run WinDaq Minimized” function
• True Multitasking Operation
• No programming
• Single-Shot or Looping Real-Time Modes
• Trigger Mode Support for High-Speed Snapshots
• Instant Export from the Playback Software.

Note: WinDaq/XL is an add-in program to WinDaq Software. It requires WinDaq Acquisition to be running in order to stream data to Excel (unless importing data through the WinDaq PLayback Software).
To stream data in multiple instances (devices): Run WinDaq with the first device then start WinDaq/XL; Run WinDaq with the second device then start WinDaq/XL; etc.

WinDaq has two Applications:

WinDaq Recording Software

– offers a real-time recording with a zero-delay, real-time display with simultaneous data recording to disk.

• Easy Set Up
  enter the channels you want to acquire. Select from gain, signal averaging, true RMS, frequency, and peak or valley detection per channel. Define a single to 32-channel display — either triggered sweep (oscilloscope-like) or scrolling (chart recorder-like). Define a sample rate.
• Record a continuous waveform, or use the triggered mode with selectable trigger level, slope, and pre- and post-trigger times.
  WinDaq automatically time- and date-stamps, then streams acquired data to disk.
• Up to 32 channels can be displayed at once. Each channel can be scaled into meaningful engineering units, such as such as psi, °C, amps, rpm, watts, horsepower, etc. You can record waveform data to disk in the background while running any combination of programs in the foreground. (Acquisition speeds and some features vary with data acquisition hardware, so refer to the hardware page for details.)
• Annotation.
  Label channels and apply comments to  event markers while you record. For example: “Beginning test phase 1,” “Small vibrations noticed,” “Starting cool-down cycle,” etc. 

WinDaq Playback (or WinDaq Waveform Browser WWB) Software

– offers an easy way to review and analyse waveform data acquired by WinDaq Recording software.

• Playback’s disk streaming design allows data files of any length to be quickly plotted on your computer.
  Compress an entire recording to one screen-width for a bird’s eye view, then expand around an area of interest for a closer look. Use the cursor to measure amplitudes and timing with precision. Move to any event marker with the click of a mouse button.
• Built-in analysis functions.
  Apply frequency and filtering analysis with the FFT and DFT functions. Analyse any range of waveform data with the statistics function. Use X-Y plotting to examine the relationship of one channel to another. Extended analysis functions allow waveform peak detection, integration, differentiation, arithmetic operations, and more.
• Export Data.
  Free Excel export from Playback software. You can even copy a graphical image displayed by the WinDaq Playback software and paste it directly into a word processing document. (Optional Live stream to Excel with WinDaq/XL – requires UNLOCK Code)

Optional Add-on software available.
