A collection of Adept Scientific's news releases.

16 and 32 Bit Data
Acquisition Systems with
Multiboard Drivers

Adept Scientific announces two new versions of its highly successful DASY Lab data acquisition system for the PC -- icon-based software which makes it simple to set up and use data acquisition applications without having to program. DASY Lab 4.0 is a native 32 bit software package which is ideal for use with Windows 95 and Windows NT, while DASYLab 3.5 is an extended version of the existing 16 bit system with a range of new features. DASY Lab 4.0 also includes multiboard driver capability for the first time, so data acquisition set-ups using more than one board can be configured and run as one task.

Version 4.0 allows DASY Lab users to take full advantage of the 32 bit Windows 95 and Windows NT platforms, while version 3.5 supports Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. New features in both versions include extended channel capabilities for the RS232 input, so it is now possible to receive data from 256 channels through one serial interface.

A welcome new feature in DASYLab 4.0 is multiboard drivers: the ability to run more than one board simultaneously. So, for example, users can monitor high speed signals at the same time as more slowly changing analogue, frequency or digital inputs -- boards of different types can run in parallel, and fast and slow boards run simultaneously at different speeds. System developers DasyTec have produced multiboard drivers for ComputerBoards, Advantech and Adlink data acquisition boards. Drivers are also available for Microstar and most other popular acquistion boards.

New DASYLab version 4.0 is a native 32-bit data acquisition and control application running under Windows 95 and NT. Simple and intuitive to set up without programming, it supports both single and multiple board drivers.

Several new measurement and display features have been added to DASY Lab 3.5 and 4.0. These include cursor measurement in the XY module, with floating cursor and curve-tracking cursor options. In the XY, Y/t and chart recorder modules, axes, tick marks and text format can be defined by the user, while the X-Axis also allows special settings for time, frequency and histogram axis. The new zoom back feature automatically saves the last zoom step, making it far easier to locate the exact area of interest on the display or chart.
 DASYLab software makes it easy for users to set up a data acquisition and analysis application. They just select a set of function icons for the required task and connect them using the mouse -- no programming is needed. DASY Lab is used in a wide range of on-line monitoring applications, where its flexibility means that users can easily adapt the system as their requirements change. Using standard PCs, it can store data to disk at acquisition rates up to 300 kHz using the fast disk streaming mode, or it can display on-screen at rates up to 100kHz.

DASYLab versions 3.5 and 4.0 are supplied and supported by Adept Scientific plc, 6 Business Centre West, Avenue One, Letchworth, Herts. SG6 2HB; telephone (01462) 480055, fax (01462) 480213, email: data.acq@adeptscience.co.uk.
