An Introduction to Software
WaveView
WaveView
is a graphical Windows-based program for use in WaveBook and StrainBook/616 applications.
The program allows users to acquire data for immediate viewing or for storage to the PC's hard disk.
WaveView
’s “spread-sheet” style interface makes it easy to set up your application quickly and begin
acquiring data within minutes of completing hardware connections. No programming knowledge is
required.
WaveView contains special sensor configuration features for both StrainBook and the associated strain-
gage expansion module, the WBK16. The Sensor Configuration aspect of WaveView is discussed in this
chapter.
Reference Note:
For general WaveView information (not specific to StrainBook or WBK16 expansion) refer to
the WaveView PDF. The document can be accessed from the data acquisition CD via the
button on the CD’s opening screen.
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 acquisition data analysis program, such as eZ-PostView to view
and analyze data that was previously acquired with WaveView.
WaveView does not support WBK40 or WBK41.
