Data Acquisition Component |
The Data Acquisition Component (DAC) reads and writes data from/to a recognized set of measurement devices. The DAC eliminates the need to save data to an external file and read it into Mathcad. To insert an acquisition component, choose Component from the Insert menu, and select Data Acquisition from the list.
The DAC is set by default for single point analog data collection with a placeholder for one output variable. You may change the number of inputs and outputs. You may also change any default properties by configuring the component using the Edit Script window, or by changing parameters in the user interface for the component.
For more information, including supported devices and the properties and methods associated with the DAC and other Scriptable Object components, see the Developer's Reference.
If you are using the Data Acquisition Component to bring analog waveform data into a worksheet for "real time" analysis, be sure that automatic calculation mode is turned on.
