Data Acquisition Logger - User Guide


Chemistry Software Download

Overview

The Data Acquisition Logger  (DAQ) is a powerful tool for plotting x, y data in real time from an incoming RS-232 data source. This manual will guide you on how to use the program, including setting up your connection, logging data, and configuring advanced features such as conditional logging and alerts.The Serial Data Logger provides flexible real-time data logging options, from simple continuous data collection to advanced conditional logging with visual and audio alerts. Follow this guide to set up and configure your logger for optimal performance.

Data Logging Methods

1. Standard Logging (No Advanced Logging)

This method requires the microcontroller to send both X (time) and Y (e.g., temperature) values. The data logger will read and log all available data every second.

Example for Arduino (Standard Logging):

Serial.print(par1); // First parameter (time in seconds) Serial.print(" "); // Space separator Serial.println(par2); // Second parameter (temperature)

2. Advanced Logging (Checked)

In advanced logging, the microcontroller only needs to provide the Y data (e.g., temperature). The data logger will automatically generate the X value (time).
