TracerDAQ Software

[John Nichols]

I have the TracerDaq and Instacal Software that I use with your USB-TC device.

I need to install this software onto another Laptop that will be dedicated to this device.

What is the procedure/steps for doing this? Thanks

Hello @John Nichols.

Download and install the MCC DAQ software.  Here is the download page:  https://www.mccdaq.com/Software-Downloads

Launch the installation, but only select InstaCal when prompted to install the software packages, if you have a TracerDAQ PRO license.  Afterwards, you can login on the MCC website to download the TracerDAQ PRO software. 

 

 

If you do not have a TracerDAQ PRO license, then you can install the base version of TracerDAQ via the mccdaq.exe installation.

Once you have verified that both software packages are installed on the new system and are able to acquire temperature readings with your USB-TC, then you can uninstall TracerDAQ PRO from your initial system.

Regards,

Fausto, thanks for the answer to my question, I was able to download the software

I also need to know what is the frequency of data collection that it will do? I have a test that will run continuously for 210 hours, will it record every second?

Hello @John Nichols.

The USB-TC has a maximum throughput of 2 samples/sec per channel.  As shown below, I configured TracerDAQ PRO with a scan rate of 1 Hz and an acquisition time length of 8 days and 18 hours (210 hours).  The expected number of samples to be collected is 756,000 per channel.   

 

 

Please note that TracerDAQ PRO has a maximum limit of 1 million samples per channel.  Increasing the scan rate to 2 Hz will reduce your acquisition length, as shown below.
