Stand-alone Models
Stand-alone Models can record data directly to a MultiMedia Memory Card (MMC) or a Secure Digital Card (SD) as
well as record data to a PC. When connected to a PC, data recording sessions may be configured and data may be
acquired using W
IN
D
AQ
Acquisition software (just the same as if the model were a PC-based instrument). This makes
all the features of W
IN
D
AQ
Acquisition software available including triggering, user annotation, user commented
event markers, appending, and stop/pause data recording (stand-alone data logger operation does not support these
features).
When taking your stand-alone model out into the field to use as a stand-alone data logger, you can record data to an
MMC or SD without the use of a PC. Data sessions can be configured for a specific job using the included configura-
tion software (installed when W
IN
D
AQ
is installed). All data recorded to the memory card is fully W
IN
D
AQ
compati-
ble and can be converted then reviewed and analyzed with W
IN
D
AQ
Playback software.
