Your tools for using onboard intelligence
Software for Data Acquisition Processors runs on both the Data Acquisition Processor itself and on the host PC. DAPL, the onboard operating system, provides all the commands you need to run data acquisition and control applications. Software, including DAPstudio, third-party, or custom software, that runs on the host PC – under a choice of operating systems – acts as the user interface for the Data Acquisition Processor, and provides disk logging and graphing capabilities.
Each DAPtools software package described below has its own distribution CD. Every CD contains all user manuals for all Microstar Laboratories hardware and software products. To obtain these manuals and try out the software, download the current 4.30 version of DAPtools Basic. You also can find out what is new in the most recent version of DAPtools.
