DAQ Plot 4+

DAQ Plot is a strip chart application for real-time viewing and analysis of signals. Use simulated signals to understand data logging concepts without additional hardware, the inexpensive DLP-IO8-G data acquisition hardware (purchased separately) to measure up to eight voltage signals or your computer's microphone to sample acoustic frequency signals. For other data acquisition hardware contact support@vvi.com.

DAQ Plot and DLP-IO8-G hardware is perfect for laboratory settings based on Mac computers because the cost-effective combination permits each experimenter to have their individual signal recording station. DAQ Plot is real time so experimenters see intuitive graph results immediately which makes learning that much easier and makes it fun for an inquisitive mind to play around with.

DAQ Plot has been used for over a decade at many commercial laboratories, universities, industries and by engineering consultants. It is used for everything from quick experiments to serious needs such as 24/7 power utility company monitoring and has been called an indispensable tool by its users. Because of its well-engineered, multi-threaded, multi-buffered implementation it can display seconds to years worth of data in real time while simultaneously acquiring and displaying new data.

DAQ Plot is designed to be easy to use and intuitive and at the same time gives advanced users access to more powerful features when desired.

FEATURES

• Signal sources: Simulated (requires no hardware), the inexpensive DLP-IO8-G data acquisition hardware (purchased separately) and the computer's default microphone. Contact VVI for other signal sources.
• To purchase the DLP-IO8-G and for additional hardware options contact VVI or see an online retailer.
• Advanced features such as spectral analysis and built-in filters to perform counting, averaging, integration, differentiation and other transforms.
• Signal display can be altered using a variety of graphical effects and signal values can be exported in many ways.
• DAQ Plot is intended to be simple to use and also implements progressive complexity to satisfy advanced users.
• Its design is multithreaded and modular for robustness and scalability.
• Includes advanced features such as one to sixteen y-axis graph presentations to features you expect like easy to use printing.
• The manual contains reference material, tutorials, support sections and other descriptions including where to get hardware and the concepts of strip chart analysis.
• Performance limited to hardware and other specifications. Consult the manual for details.

DATA ACQUISITION HARDWARE DRIVERS

The DLP-IO8-G works with macOS El Capitan and Sonoma (but not intervening OS version) on testing Macs. For other hardware, drivers and compatibility information contact support@vvi.com. The DAQ Plot framework is modular which means new data acquisition hardware can be added on a need-be basis. If you have a specific need then contact support@vvi.com to discuss your requirements.

NOTICE: Version 14 of DAQ Plot is schedule to be compatible with Sequoia only. Versions 12.16.x of DAQ Plot is the last version compatible with older versions from El Capitan (macOS 10.11) to Sonoma. This is being done to tune performance to the latest and greatest but also for the pragmatic reason that older systems are increasingly rare. Please email support@vvi.com to let us know your thoughts about compatibility or any other issue.
