  3. How do I use my specific DATAQ device with ActiveX / What are my DEVICE ID and DEVICE DRIVER?
    The DataqSdk component works with all DATAQ products. To use the DataqSdk control with your product, you must figure out the DeviceDriver and DeviceID for your hardware.
    Click here to get the latest ActiveX installation.
    DeviceDriver and DeviceID can be deduced from the ActiveX Controls Help file (dataqxc.chm) and they can also be found in the tpdataq.ini file located in your Windows directory. If DeviceDriver and DeviceID are not set, the same values are used as the last time WinDaq was started, which are saved to C:WINDOWSTPDATAQ.INI [Global] section in keys DLLName = and DeviceID=.
    DeviceDriver is the DLL to be used with the corresponding device, available in the tpdataq.ini file.
    DeviceID represents a connection method to the device.

    1The DI-145, DI-148U, DI-158U/UP, and DI-71x USB versions all use a virtual COM port. Some products use a virtual COM port even though they may have an alternate interface connection (like USB). Such products use the serial port device driver and ID. See Question 4 below 'What COM port is my device connected to?'

    2The Device ID consists of a 32-bit value comprised of the COM port number, two digits representing the device model number, and the Baud Rate.

    3The COM port number is specified during installation of the device. COM port numbers of 01 to 99 are supported. Example: For a Serial device installed to COM 1 the DeviceDriver=DI101NT.DLL. See Question 4 below 'What COM port is my device connected to?' for instructions on finding the correct COM port.

    4Virtual Device # can be found in c:Windows pdataq.ini, or at the end of the WinDaq installation.

    5The order of WinDaq/IP installation - look in title bar of WinDaq Acquisition when running device or check your installation directory for file(s) named WDQDK6nn.EXE. nn = 0 to 39 RESERVED; nn = 40 to 69 for DI-710E and DI-715BE devices; 70 to 99 for DI-718BE and DI-718BxE devices.

    6The order of WinDaq/IP installation - look in title bar of WinDaq Acquisition when running device or check your installation directory for file(s) named WDQDK8nn.EXE. nn = 0 to 59.

    7Starting WinDaq acquisition with V3.89 or later sets DLLName= and DeviceID= in the TPDATAQ.INI [Global] section, which become the default DeviceDriver and DeviceID if not set by a program using WinDaq.ocx or DataqSdk.ocx.

    8A null string or '00000000' opens the first available connected device found.


    Download and see the ActiveX help file for more information.
  4. What COM port is my device connected to?
    STEP 1: Open the Windows Device Manager. The Windows Device manager can generally be found by holding the Windows key down then pressing the Pause/Break key on your Windows keyboard to access the System Properties window. From there, the Device Manager should be accessible but may require an extra click or two (for example, in XP, click on the Hardware tab then on the Device Manager button).
    STEP 2: Find Ports (COM & LPT) and expand by clicking the + box to the left. This shows all COM and LPT ports currently assigned on your computer.
    STEP 3: Find DATAQ DIxxx (COM#) - # is the COM port designated for your device.
    STEP 4:Change the COM port Number of your Device.
    a. Right-click on DATAQ DIxxx (COM#).
    b. Click on Properties.
    c. Click on the Port Settings tab.
    d. Click on the Advanced button.
    e. Click the down arrow on the COM Port Number drop-down menu.
    f. Select an alternate COM port number (MUST be COM 16 or lower).
  5. How do I troubleshoot my ActiveX project? Note: this debug procedure is the first step if you need technical help with your program.
    A log file (DATAQSDK.LOG) may be created in the directory from which your program runs every time you run the DataqSDK control. This tool helps DATAQ Technical Support to debug your program if errors occur and you cannot figure out the problem.
    STEP 1: To enable creation of this log file add the line 'debug=1' to the [Global] section of the TPDATAQ.INI file under your Windows directory at C:WindowsTPDATAQ.INI file
    [Global]
    debug=1
    STEP 2: Depending on the system setup of the target PC, DATAQSDK.LOG may be located in a different directory, the best way is to do a search on your PC.
    Note: The log file is cleared each time the DataqSDK control is loaded. In VB when an error occurs do not stop the program - the program must still be running to access the log file (i.e., stay in 'debug' mode). For help with your program make sure you copy and email the log file before closing your application.
    By using this log file Technical Support can significantly reduce response time to your problem.
    Examine the following for a typical log file format:

DI-1110 USB Data Acquisition starter kit with Windaq software. Features eight differential analog input channels (Unlock Code required for more than 4 channels), 12-bit measurement resolution, and a full scale range of ±10V.

Dataq Instruments Di 710

Model DI-1110 delivers premium analog performance at a surprisingly affordable price. Eight analog input channels provide differential measurement flexibility over a ±10 V range. The differential input configuration provides noise rejection, easily adapts to single-ended signal sources, and is protected to ±100 V so that inevitable measurement mishaps will not harm the instrument. The front end feeds a 12-bit ADC with a maximum sampling throughput rate of the 160 kHz to provide pure data acquisition power at an unmatched price point.

Dataq Instruments Port Devices Driver Download Windows 10

The DI-1110 provides 7 digital ports, each configurable as an input or a switch. Input protection is provided to 25 V. When activated as inputs, two ports allow dual functionality as discrete inputs, or can be programmed as a counter or rate input respectively. The rate input features a 50 kHz maximum measurement allocated over twelve programmable measurement ranges (10 Hz to 50 kHz full scale.) The counter input provides 16-bit resolution and a terminal count value of 65,535. The discrete, counter, and rate inputs are members of the same internal scan list used by the analog input channels. So, all enabled elements are acquired synchronously, which allows meaningful comparisons between analog and digital channels. For example, the rate input measuring engine speed allows rpm data to be acquired in lock-step with analog data. Configured as a switch a digital port can be used to control external loads up to 25 V @ 100 mA, and the switch can be controlled asynchronously during scanning.
