Appendix D Custom Labels D-1
Custom Labels D
This appendix consists of blank user labels and a Personal Daq channel layout reference (page D-3). If you have access to
Microsoft Word
TM you can create custom labels in your PC since the labels exist in a file ( pDaq_CustomLabels.doc ) on your
installation CD. During the installation process the file is automatically copied to the target directory for pDaqView . You can
change the directory, if desired.
Note:
You can use a shortcut entitled Custom Labels Template to access pDaq_CustomLabels.doc . The shortcut will be
located in the Personal DaqView program group.
The labels in the file consist of tables with each cell set to scale. The default font is Arial, 6pt. centered. This can be
changed, based on your specific labeling preferences.
You can orient your label entrees horizontally, vertically, or upside down, as appropriate to your application. The important
factor is that your labels correspond to the actual channel designations. These designations are clearly visible on the
Personal Daq products, and are also illustrated on page D-3 for easy reference.
The labels are twice as wide as, and slightly longer than, the label slots on the Personal Daq device. The double-width
allows you to fold the labels for extra rigidity. The extra length and rigidity make the insertion and removal of the labels
easier. Note that when properly positioned, the shaded areas of a label will extend beyond the edge of the label slots.
