As can be seen in the preceding figure, when DaqView functions do not apply the non-applicable buttons
are grayed-out. TempBook, for example, does not make use of Analog Output, Digital I/O, Counter/Timer,
or Waveform & Pattern Output functions and the associated toolbar buttons are therefore grayed-out.
Functionality Differences amongst Devices
Device functionality is paralleled in DaqView. If a device does not support a particular function the related
software feature will be disabled (grayed-out), or will not be visible. Before using any of the information in
this document you should be aware as to whether or not it applies to your specific hardware.
With very little exception the following screen images were taken from DaqBoard/2000 Series devices.
The available toolbar controls and spreadsheet information are virtually identical for other devices.
A synopsis of functional support is provided just to the right of each screen.
Window with Available Analog Channels (P1)
The DaqView main window will
appear much as it does to the left
for Daq devices that have:
Analog Input Channels
Digital I/O Channels
Counter Inputs
Timer Outputs
Analog Output Channels
When your device does not have one
or more of these functions, then those
that do not apply will be either
grayed-out or simply won’t be
displayed.
Consult your hardware user
documentation in regard to features
that apply to your specific device.
Window with no Available Analog Channels (P1)
Certain Daq devices only have
Digital I/O Channels
Counter Inputs
Timer Outputs
In this case all Analog-related buttons
are grayed-out and P1 (Analog Input)
Channels will not appear in the
spreadsheet.
