- New Serial output formats
Front Panel
- If DAQ PC has internet connection, check for updated version of DAQ. If update exists, button on panel links to download.
National Instruments
- Auto-determination of National instrument board device numbers. If board(s) not found, features disabled accordingly.
3.0.3
NEW FEATURES since 3.0.0:
Acquisition Window
Optional automatic baseline and SI determination during acquisition. Turned on/off on AP240 tab of Menu Window. This is still considered a BETA feature. Last values are saved as InfoVals.
Calib Window Step sizes (volts) for TPS scans are saved as common menu values
Scroll wheel and arrow keys to change TPS voltages and calibration center points
Info Vals If TPS remote control is enabled, last monitored TPS voltages are saved as infoVals for each run
Data Save
Allows transient save in FMS mode. itx written to transient drive, without write to C: drive
