![]() Again no data gets logged to the memory card when connected to the PC, so if you will use the logger always connected to the PC, then just call TIn (no need to call the Datalogger functions, which again, don’t setup or perform the data logging, they just extract data from a binary file). If a USB-5200 model is left connected to the PC 100% of the time, it does not behave like a stand-alone logger, but instead behaves like a USB-TC/TEMP, and data can be samples live via the TIn function. There are UL datalogger calls that can be made to convert a data file, though these historically have not been popular. Normally folks then use InstaCal (or perhaps TracerDAQ), to quickly/manually convert the binary data files to text/CSV files for further analysis in Excel. You disconnect the logger from the PC for all logging to the memory card. The logger cannot log to its memory card when connected to the PC. To run InstaCal, click on Start Programs Measurement Computing InstaCal. Run InstaCal and add your plug-and-play hardware (USB, PCI, or PCMCIA) This section explains how to run InstaCal and add any installed plug-and-play PCI, USB, or PCMCIA hardware. ![]() You must first manually configure a logging session in InstaCal (set sensor type, which channels to log, sample rate, etc). BOARD, which is a virtual ISA data acquisition board. The USB-5200 models are primarily stand-alone logger. The above should install the InstaCal driver silently (without user prompts), but the user still then must manually run Inscal32.EXE once to have their DAQ hardware recognized (The end result being a text file named CB.CFG file being created by InstaCal, that stores the hardware information).Yes the USB-5200 series is listed as supported with Python on Windows. You should thoroughly test this to your satisfaction, as MCC has not done formal testing. Note that the above suggestions are derived from Microsoft documentation for their MSI standard. Here is the command line usually recommended: Msiexec /i instacal.msi /qnĪnother one to consider is this one: Msiexec /I instacal.msi /passive All of these files need to be present, but then you can launch the MSI, in a silent fashion, per below: You will see the MSI file, plus a bunch of other files and folders. Instead, right click on it, and open it (or extract the files) with an unzip utility. The Universal Library is the software required to write your own programs for use with any Measurement Computing data acquisition and control board. Don’t double click on it like they would. Icalsetup.exe is a self-extracting zip file that many of our non-OEM customers download and install. The vast majority of InstaCal users should install InstaCal using our normal installation method. Note that the following discussion is aimed at OEMs. Last, you could download a diagnostic test developed by one of our application engineers here: Download the the Daqware DIO.msi file for digital I/O testing. We also have support for LabVIEW through our ULx driver support that will allow you to develop a LabVIEW application that will configure and control your digital I/O. ![]() If you are planning on developing an application using our Universal Library then you could use one of the generic example programs that come with the library or download a product specific example from our web site here. TracerDAQ will allow you to monitor up to 8 inputs. Your options for configuring and testing your digital I/O will depend on what your plans are for software programming. For various reasons that feature was never enabled for the USB-2408 series. Hello Jessica, Unfortunately, InstaCal does not bring out the digital testing feature for the USB-2408.
