HWSW DAQ

HWSW delivers data acquisition software “HWSW DAQ” which contains the applications “Chart recorder”, “Analyzer“ and “Converter”.
The goal of “HWSW DAQ” is to measure analog signals and analyze the data as easy and quick as possible. This is achieved with math and macro functions. The possibility to use different profiles makes it easy to switch between different measurement types and analyze methods.

See videos for a demonstration of the product.

Chart recorder

This data acquisition program can measure analog channels. A math script with multiple math functions can be applied to these channels during the measurement and displayed immediately. The measured and math channels can be stored in a data acquisition file. The math script enables advanced calculations during the measurement and can be adjusted by the user. The same math functions can be used to drive analog outputs in order to create an arbitrary waveform generator. The measured data can be displayed in Charts, XY plots and numeric indicators.

Main features:

• Scale calibrate channel: convert voltage to physical units
• Sample rate: number of sample per second of the inputs and outputs
• Math script: more than 90 math functions
• Macro script: automate measurements
• Save: automatic file naming/numbering data files
• Numeric: indicator window
• XY plots: XY plot window
• Annotations: add markers to the measurement file
• Profiles: save and load all settings including the math scripts

Analyzer

This program can view, analyzer and edit data acquisition files created with “Chart recorder”. The same math functions as in “Chart recorder” can be used to analyze the data, these are also stored in a math script. The data displayed in graphs can be adjusted by zooming or panning. Two cursors can be displayed to measure the data at and/or between the cursors. Cursor scripts determine the values at the cursors and/or to export to a text file. Data between the two cursors can be displayed in a XY plot or be used for a curve fit. Macro scripts save a lot of time by analyzing multiple data acquisition files automatically.

Main features:

• Math script: more than 90 math functions
• Macro script: automate the analyzation of the data
• Cursors: options are On/Off/Step/Export/Scripts/Align
• Curve fit: adjust fit parameters, fit the data between the cursor and save the result to a file
• XY plots: display data between cursors in a XY plot window
• Profiles: save and load all settings including the math scripts

Converter

This program can convert multiple *.csv files to *.tdms files with one action in order to open them with “Analyzer”.

Main features:

• Adjusted delimiter
• Adjust decimal separator
• Search and replace strings
• Adjust document properties
• Profiles: save and load all settings
