Software Support
WaveView contains special software features for WBK17. These features are discussed in the WaveView
document module.
You can use WaveView’s spreadsheet-style GUI to select a specific counter mode, AC/DC coupling,
low-pass filter cut-off frequency, and other WBK17-specific configuration parameters. The WBK17 can be
configured to make several different types of measurements at the same time, but on different channels; for
example: frequency, period, and quadrature encoder measurements. A wide variety of setups is possible.
In addition to the Out-of-the-Box ™ WaveView software, the WBK17 is supported by a complete set of
language drivers and documentation for developing custom applications using high-level languages such as:
Visual Basic
® , C++, and Delphi ™ for Windows ® 95/98/2000/Me/NT and LabVIEW ® . For applications that
require sophisticated graphical analysis and control that go beyond the scope of WaveView ™ , icon-based
DASYLab ® software can be used. The WaveBook User’s Manual (p/n 489-0901) discusses software
options.
WBK17 support is only available with the 32-bit driver and 32-bit version of WaveView.
