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 programming
knowledge is required by the user.
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 PostView (an independent application) and view waveforms that were recorded by WaveView.
PostView is discussed in chapter 6.
