 Lite Data Acquisition software (free) can be used to record waveforms directly and continuously to disk 

while monitoring a real time display of the waveforms on-screen. It operates, displays, and records up to four chan-
nels in real time. An optional unlock code is available to record the rest of the channels on the device or to allow you 
to sync multiple units.
