Modular software simplifies acquisition

Daqworx is an integrated PC-based data-acquisition software package for Yokogawa's family of data-acquisition systems, paperless recorders and other measuring instruments.

Daqworx is an integrated PC-based data-acquisition software package for Yokogawa's family of data-acquisition systems, paperless recorders and other measuring instruments.

Designed to offer a high degree of scalability and flexibility to meet changing user requirements, Daqworx combines a number of basic data-acquisition components with a range of addon and interface capabilities.

With Daqworx, users can configure a variety of data-acquisition systems without having to perform any special programming tasks.

The package also makes it possible for users to easily expand the measurement bandwidth and application range by adding software to existing data acquisition systems to meet users' specific application needs.

Daqworx includes three classes of software components: basic data-acquisition software; "addon" value-added capabilities; and interface components.

With these components, users can build data-acquisition systems optimised for their application environments by selecting a combination of individual software components from the available lineup.

The basic data-acquisition components, which include Daqlogger, DAQ32Plus, MXLogger and Daqexlorer, allow users to easily set up various data-acquisition hardware components, expedite the start of data-acquisition system operation, and perform analytical processing.

The addon value-added software components facilitate various tasks, including customised monitoring, networked remote monitoring, group-by-group data acquisition and storage, and triggered data acquisition by monitoring measured data.

They can be linked with the basic software to build high value-added data acquisition systems.

The interface software components enable users to easily connect not only data-acquisition equipment but also power measuring instruments, industrial instrumentation equipment, monitors for data acquired from OPC servers, and monitors for images from web cameras, without the need for programming.

Yokogawa recorders and data-acquisition systems are widely used for acquiring and recording data such as flow rate, pressure, temperature and voltage from equipment in the production and research and development environments.
