Available from National Instruments, DASYLab is a popular tool for PC-based data acquisition running under Windows.
The DASYLab driver is available for all of the UltraFast Digitizer, Arbitrary Waveform Generator and high-speed Digital I/O boards.
The driver allows you to access all of the hardware features of the UltraFast board, including the wide variety of triggering possibilities and the additional options such as Multiple Recording, Gated Sampling, Time Stamp or the Extra I/O boards.
It is also possible to configure multi-board systems. Up to 16 UltraFast boards of the same or different types can be configured using the Cascaded Synchronization or Star Hub Synchronization hardware options – all cards are then accessed and controlled as a totally synchronized system through DASYLab.
Using DASYLab you can perform high-speed measurements or signal generation, and either record the signal data to the large onboard memory, or decide to continuously stream the data to the PC RAM or hard disk.
The driver includes:
| • | The standard UltraFast driver for Windows |
| • | A special DASYLab dll offering the complete functionality of the board in DASYLab |
| • | A UF card configuration dialog in the DLL, self-checks entered setup parameters |
| • | A demo program to show the use of the driver |
