High Speed Data Acquisition Software

The new version of Streamer software is now available from Biodata Ltd. Streamer runs under Microsoft Windows and logs data to disk at up to 100 000 samples per second. Its new features include:

• DDE (dynamic data exchange) facilities
• Threshold triggering
• Data automatically converted to engineering units
• Built in linearisation for 8 types of thermocouple and Pt100 sensors
• Data displayed graphically and numerically during collection
• More choice of file formats
• Windows 3.1, 95 and NT compatibility

The new DDE facilities let other Windows applications (such as Excel spreadsheets) share the data Streamer is collecting. These applications may be on other computers, anywhere on a network. You could set up a macro in Excel, say, which reads the data, analyses it and prints out a report. The other applications can also send commands to control Streamer remotely.
