Key Features Explained
Scan for Devices
When multiple units with different addresses are connected, the unit address scan function can be used to search for units automatically.
Project Management
Enables saving added device information, data monitoring screen layouts, I/O source selection, etc., as project files. Opening a project file automatically loads the saved settings. A project list is created for easier project file management.
Data Analysis
The data analysis feature allows data files (*.ddf) to be converted into grids or graphs. The information can be saved in *.rtf, *.txt, *.html, or *.csv files from the data grid screen.
Log Monitoring Data
While monitoring, data can be logged and saved into DAQMaster data files (*.ddf) or CSV files (*.csv). The saved CSV file can be opened directly in Excel spreadsheets. Users can define log data file naming rules and destination folders for easier file management.
Real-Time Logging
Log files are automatically created and saved as CSV files at user-specified times.
Modbus Device Editor (DAQMaster Pro)
Allows users to add and monitor the status of any Modbus devices that are not included on the default list.
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) (DAQMaster Pro)
Collected data can be published to a broker or subscribed to from a broker using the MQTT protocol.
Database Management (DAQMaster Pro)
Information can be changed to a database using database management systems (Access, MySQL, SQL Server, SQLite) in real-time, allowing for easy creation and management of various databases.
OPC DA (Data Access)
The OPC Specifications are based on OLE, COM, and DCOM technologies developed by Microsoft to facilitate interoperability of applications. It offers an industry-standard mechanism for communication and data transfer between client and servers.
OPC UA (Unified Architecture)
The unified architecture is a standard communication protocol to transmit data from sensors or PLCs. Data can be collected through various OPC UA servers using the OPC UA protocol.
Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) Client
Dynamic Data Exchange is a method of interprocess communication under Microsoft Windows that allows sharing of information between applications. This function uses shared memory and provides a common protocol to applications.
Licensing and Updates
The DAQMaster Pro version license can be activated with the purchase of the DAQMaster Pro USB license dongle.
