Their output data payload was delivered to a
strip-chart recorder. That data was manually entered onto computer punch cards and then run through a computer.
To log the same amount of data with 1960s-era technology, a
strip-chart recorder would require paper 180 m wide.
All units also include TracerDAQ, the company's
strip-chart recorder, oscilloscope, and datalogger software application; SoftWIRE, the graphical programming interface for Visual Studio .NET; the Universal Library language interface; and drivers for most data acquisition application packages including LabVIEW.
His
strip-chart recorder still sits, as it did years ago, on the observer's chair.
A
strip-chart recorder is satisfactory, but when it must be replaced, a computerized ENG is much preferable.
The
strip-chart recorder documents the process while its internal output logic controls discharge water valves.
All PMDs include InstaCAL, an installation and test-application package; TracerDAQ, a
strip-chart recorder, oscilloscope, and datalogger software application; Universal Library, a language interface; and drivers for most data acquisition application packages including SoftWIRE and LabVIEW.
Several software programs accompany the PMD-1608FS, including TracerDAQ[TM], a ready-to-run oscilloscope,
strip-chart recorder, and datalogger application with free source code; InstaCal[TM], an installation, test, and calibration application; Universal Library[R], a programming interface for Windows and .NET programming languages; UL for LabVIEW[TM], a PMD-1608FS LabVIEW driver; SoftWIRE[R] DAQ components, a SoftWIRE interface and a comprehensive set of data acquisition-related .NET components.
Ever since proving themselves a more reliable and efficient alternative to
strip-chart recorders some three decades ago, chromatography data integrators have found a stable audience.
Miniature temperature data loggers that can be used in place of
strip-chart recorders in cold storage warehouses and refrigerated transport have been introduced by Cox Recorders.
