19 Options… Opens Personal DaqViewXL’s Options Dialog.
20 Preferences… Opens Personal DaqViewXL’s Preferences Dialog. From this dialog box you can
use the General and Measurement Units dialog boxes as described below.
General
− Allows you to select “untitled” or “pDaq”
configurations for the default filename used by
Personal Daq. Note that Personal DaqView automatically
loads the last saved configuration file. The lower portion of
the General screen pertains to configuration file settings.
Measurement Units − Allows you to set the desired default
units for the Channel Configuration Window’s spreadsheet.
Note that scale and offset automatically reset to a pre-
designated default according to the unit selected.
Changing the measurement unit defaults does not
immediately affect the Channel Configuration Window’s
spreadsheet columns. For example: If you set your voltage
default to µV, but the channels are set with V units, they will
retain the V units. However, changing these channels to
temperature, then back to voltage would result in the default
units (µV) and the associated scale & offset. The new
default units are also applied to all channels when a new
configuration file is created.
