WinDaq Dashboard
The WinDaq Dashboard allows you to run WinDaq Data Acquisition software, sync the device clock with your PC,
modify Ethernet settings, configure your instrument for stand-alone data logging to record data to a USB flash drive,
and access the USB thumb drive via the Ethernet interface. Devices in a ChannelStretch™ Group can synchronize
data recording in that group. Select all the devices under a ChannelStretch group and click on the Start WinDaq but-
ton. Stand-alone data logging is not available using ChannelStretch.
