Introduction
WaveView is a graphical Windows-based program for use in WaveBook applications. The program allows
users to acquire data for immediate viewing or for storage to the PC's hard disk. No previous programming
knowledge is required.
From WaveView you can:
•
Set up all analog or digital input parameters.
•
Acquire and save data to disk.
•
View the acquisition in real-time.
•
Send data to other Windows applications, such as spreadsheets and databases.
•
Launch an independent post-data acquisition application, such as DIAdem, PostView, or
eZ-View, to view file data recorded by WaveView. Refer to the applicable document module
for detailed information.

The asterisk indicates that the mode applies
only to WBK17 applications.
