LogView Software­Simplifies Setup
LogView* uses a series of spreadsheets toallow simple setup and display of all channel parameters. No auxiliary dialog boxes,
configurable block diagrams, or programming methodologies are employed.
All of the parameters for the analog I/O,
digital I/O, counter/timers, and calculatedchannels can be viewed and adjusted
through LogView’s unique spreadsheet
interface. The spreadsheets make it possible
to see and adjust the parameters of manychannels concurrently, unlike typical data
logging software that requires channels tobe set up one at a time through auxiliary
dialog boxes.

LogView’s analog input spreadsheet makes viewing and adjusting many channels easy
Channel parameters are independent of
one another and include:•

Turning the channel on or off•

Programmable input range for analog
input channels• Scaling and offset for engineering units
conversion•

Any or all of four timebases to log thechannel• The equation that defines the calculatedchannel•

The physical output channel to direct
a calculated or input channel•

Special parameters specific to certain
signal conditioning modules

All inputs including analog, digital, frequency and calculated channels are collected synchronously so that data fromwidely dissimilar inputs can be correlated
in time.
Within the analog spreadsheet, an offset
adjustment or 2-point calibration can be
performed for each channel. This function
compensates for inaccuracies in ­signal
conditioning circuitry and sensors.
LogView provides a file concatenate feature
for combining separately uploaded data
segments, from the same trigger block,
into one file.

* Supported Operating Systems: Windows 2000®,
Windows Vista® x86 (32-bit), and Windows XP®

Digital Outputs
The LogBook’s digital outputs allow it tocontrol external devices and/or stimulate
the unit under test. Using LogView’s
calculated channels, equations can bederived that can be used to stimulate
digital outputs for use as alarms or for
on/off control*. For example, the equation DIG1 = (CH1 - CH2) < 20 turns on
digital output 1 if the difference between­channels 1 and 2 is less than 20.

Output values are easily computed using calculated channels

Data Formats andData Files
Data collected with the LogBook can be
uploaded to your PC’s hard disk in any or
all of several data formats for post acquisition analysis. Some of the available fileformats include ASCII Text, DASYLab®,DADiSP™, MATLAB®, DIAdem, .WAV, UFF58A, and UFF58B, which are compatible
with virtually all post acquisition analysis
software. LogView creates the necessary
headers for each data ­format so that thepost acquisition analysis software can use
the channel labels, the ­acquisition timebase ­information, and other ­necessary
parameters.

LogView can convert collected data to several file formats* Not for PID specific control applications

Auxiliary Real-Time
Indicators
Along with displaying channel data froman attached LogBook in real time in thesetup spreadsheets, LogView also provides
real-time indicators. These indicators
provide a means of monitoring the realtime channel values so that signals can beverified. Each indicator provides a highdegree of setup flexibility to customize
your display.

Real-time indicators provide channel feedback from an attached LogBook

PostView
PostView is a time-domain post-­acquisition
data viewing package which is integrated
and ready to use from within your View
package when you install it. PostView­provides easy to use basic time-domain
data viewing for IOtech data acquisition
Out-of-the-Box View packages.
