PC-connected operation

The DI-710 or DI-715B Instrument enters PC Operation Mode when the instrument is connected to the PC and the 
user initiates W

vated and all the features of W

 Acquisition software over the internet, unpredictable latencies may occur, especially at 

higher sample rates. The unit generally will continue to acquire data after a latency - but there will be gaps in your 
data.

Networked operation as a data acquisition server

The Ethernet option allows data access from anywhere on a local area network (LAN) or DHCP server. A DI-710 or 
DI-715B configured for Stand-alone operation 

and

 an Ethernet interface transparently becomes like any other com-

puter on the network, able to share data whenever and wherever it is needed. This can be over the LAN to a PC on the 
other side of the facility, or over the Internet to a PC on the other side of the world. Furthermore, Stand-alone instru-
ments can be easily added to existing networks. Its server functionality means that it does not require a dedicated net-
work to operate efficiently. Data is locally stored to MMC/SD memory, where it is available for upload (using the 
Uploader software) only on demand and as network bandwidth permits. In this manner, Stand-alone instruments with 
Ethernet interfaces are fully compatible with the intrinsic non-preemptive nature of Ethernet networks.

Stand-alone data logger operation

Use your Stand-alone model as a stand-alone data logger to record a W

IN

D

AQ

-compatible waveform file onto a Mul-

tiMedia Card (MMC) or Secure Digital Card (SD). After recording, insert the memory card into your card reader to 
access the data file. The data file can then be opened with W

IN

D

AQ

 Waveform Browser Software for MMC allowing 

analysis and review features. See “WinDaq Waveform Browser for MMC” on page 37 for more information regard-
ing W

IN

D

AQ

 Waveform Browser for MMC software.

Data may be recorded using a circular FIFO memory configuration allowing you to record data nearly indefinitely or 
in a non-circular configuration allowing you to stop recording when your memory card is full. Select the desired 
memory configuration using the Stand-alone Set Up software inside the Dataq Instruments Hardware Manager.

Note: SanDisk MMC/SD memory cards have a lifetime expectancy of about 100,000 write actions. Each time data 
wraps you will use one write action; each singular data file uses two write actions (start and stop). If used properly a 
memory card will last years. See your memory card’s specifications to determine lifetime expectancy.

The Stand-alone Set Up Panel

The Stand-alone Set Up software (installed with W

IN

D

AQ

—accessible in the W

IN

D

AQ

 program group through the 

Dataq Instruments Hardware Manager) allows you to customize each data recording session before taking the instru-
ment out into the field. The default settings (i.e., if you do not configure the instrument) are 16 single-ended channels 
enabled at 300Hz sample rate and a gain of 1. The default configuration can be reset at any time on the instrument by 
holding the Control button in when applying power. Context-sensitive Help is provided within the configuration soft-
ware. Press F1 to access Help topics related to the currently displayed feature. You must run the software with the 
device properly installed and connected to your PC.

Operation

To use your instrument as a stand-alone data logger follow these steps:

1.

Configure the Instrument using the Set Up software or by re-setting to the default (See “The Stand-alone Set Up 
Panel” above).

2.

Connect signal leads (See “4. Instrument Controls, Indicators, and Connections” on page 21.).

3.

Apply Power to the instrument using the supplied Power Cable.
