eZ-PostView
eZ-PostView
provides simple “time-domain” viewing. From this application you can display up to 8 time-
domain function windows and display up to 16 channel traces per window. Data is automatically scaled to
optimize its fit in the window. Window, channel trace, and cursor colors can be customized.
The application can be accessed through WaveView’s button, or accessed independently
from your program files group, i.e., where you installed your software.
Note that eZ-PostView has no Transfer Function Display Types, Complex Function Display Types, or FFT
Windows available. You cannot record data from eZ-PostView.
WaveCal
StrainBook/616 does not make direct use of WaveCal; but instead uses WaveView’s StrainBook / WBK16
Sensor Configuration
feature (discussed shortly). WaveCal is used to calibrate WBK modules supported
by StrainBook. The application is discussed in the WaveView_WaveCal pdf document, include on your
data acquisition CD.
Icon-Based Software
Most StrainBook/616 users do not need to go beyond WaveView and eZ-PostView (the included post
acquisition data analysis program) to satisfy their application needs. However, for individuals who want to
customize their applications “icon-based” programs such as DASYLab® and LabVIEW™ offer a great
degree of flexibility.
The installation CD includes language drivers for DASYLab® and LabVIEW™. The CD also includes
program examples for each.
Individuals using either of these programs should refer to their DASYLab® or LabVIEW™ user manuals,
as applicable. You can obtain additional information from your sales representative.
Language Drivers for Programmers
DaqX
StrainBook/616 is supplied with DaqX Subroutine API Libraries. These provide complete support for all
of the functionality available on each data acquisition device in Visual Basic®, and C/C++. In addition,
DaqX is supported under all versions of Windows®. Over 100 program examples are included with DaqX
Subroutine API Libraries. API documentation is provided in a Programmer’s Manual (p/n 1008-0901),
which is included on the installation CD.
DaqCOM ™
The DaqCOM suite of programming allows applications developers to rapidly develop and deploy custom
systems by leveraging COM (Component Object Model) technology. DaqCOM does this by providing a
powerful easy-to-use interface to most programming languages including, Visual Basic®, VBA, C++, and
J++. In addition, DaqCOM supports the new Windows.NET architecture and includes examples for
VisualBasic.NET and C++. Support for VisualStudio.NET is accomplished via the COMInterop feature
within VisualStudio.NET.
