Software for USB-1608G

[Frankliu]

Hi, 

I just received a USB-1608G. What software do I install for my computer (Win11)?

Hello @Frankliu

Start with the MCCDAQ.exe download: https://mcc.download.ni.com/downloads/MCCDaqCD/mccdaq.exe

This quick start guide will also be of benefit to you: https://www.mccdaq.com/pdfs/manuals/QS-MCCDAQ.pdf

Dear Jeffrey,

I used the USB-1608G to collect the data from 4 loadcells and two differential pressure transmitter.

I used the software TracerDAQ to select the strip chart to record the data during the tests. I saved the data as a file ( 123. sch).

How can I export the data that I can plot the curves in Matlab or Excel?

Thanks,

Frank

One more thing,

How can I setup the record time for TracerDAQ if I want to record in 5 minutes or no time limited?

Thanks,

 

Frank

While in TracerDAQ after the acquisition , use the Save As option to save the data as .txt or .csv format. Both can be used by MatLab or Excel.

TracerDAQ can only be configured to operate for a limited or set duration/time each time the user clicks the 'Start' button.  

By "...in 5 minutes..." if you mean does TracerDAQ have the ability to have a scheduled start time, it does not.
