Your tools for using onboard intelligence
Software for Data Acquisition Processor systems 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.
Select one of the three DAPtools software distribution package levels – Basic, Standard, or Professional – to obtain the combination of software required to implement your application.
An Overview shows how the pieces of software included in each package fit together to build a complete system.
