[open quote]DATAA[close quote] was written to fill the need for a versatile, general purpose data acquisition program for digital scopes and data recorders. Unfortunately, a GPIB software standard was only recently developed for such instruments. For operating the older, pre-standard digital scopes, different software for each instrument is usually required. The concept for this program is that the operator controls the instrument settings. The computer controls the data acquisition. [open quote]Let the operator do what he does best, let the computer do what it does best.[close quote] In a research environment, the diagnostic setup requirements are constantly changing. Reliable, reproducible data is essential. [open quote]DATAA[close quote] accomplishes this task. Data is automatically stored, with setup information being included with each data file. A plotting routine allows for easy examination of all data. For hardcopies, data files are printed at 300DPI to a Laser Jet printer. This report contains a brief description of each main command. Included are figures showing the main display screens, and sample waveform charts.
