Let UltimaSerial unleash the power of your Windaq Starter kit!
Lessons on how to use UltimaSerial
The free Windaq Add-ons from UltimaSerial are designed according to Windaq add-on standard, all VB source codes are included to allow user modification.
The Free Windaq Add-ons from Ultimaserial includes:
- Spectrogram (ID=7003)
A Windaq add-on to study the frequency spectrum in real-time, with 3D color-scaled waterfall spectrum display.Starting June 29, Spectrogram has a Dynamic Amplifier option. When checked, waveform's average DC component is removed, then amplified to at least half dynamic range, before performing FFT. As the result, low level signal is much easier to study.

- While acquiring spectrum, you may use the mouse to drag the FFT waveform (the upper waveform) up and down, or double-click the buttons to change the scaling of the waveform.
- Once you stop the waveform, you may click on the waveform to enable a cursor and drag it horizontally to study the spectrum
- You may also click on the waterfall chart to enable a crosshair to show the frequency/elapsed time
- You may use the button "Copy to
clipboard" to copy the waterfall chart to clipboard and paste
to other Windows document application
- FFT (ID=7001)
Provides Real-time 1024-point FFT power spectrum for frequency study. VB source included.
Dynamic Amplifier option. When checked, waveform's average DC component is removed, then amplified to at least half dynamic range, before performing FFT. As the result, low level signal is much easier to study. Click here to see the effect of Dynamic Amplifier
Analog oscilloscope-like persistence control helps to study the trend of the spectrum (Refer to the above screen shot for visual effect)
While acquiring spectrum, you may use the mouse to drag the waveform up and down, or double-click the buttons to change the scaling of the waveform.
Once you stop the waveform, you may click on the waveform to enable a cursor and drag it around to study the spectrum
- Derivative (ID=7004)
Generate 2-point derivative output on a specified channel.
- AnalogOutput (ID=7005)
Control output via the DAC of the device, including DI148/158/720/730/740, while WinDaq is running.
- DigitalOutput (ID=7006)
Control output via the digital output ports of the device (if available), including DI148/158/710/715/718BX/720/730/722/740, while Windaq is running.
Note: When using 7x0 USB, the Digital Outputs are on the expansion connector instead of the one with DOn labels
-
Oscilloscope (ID=7008)
Provides powerful oscilloscope like display. This add-on is based on XChart
Display up to 16 waveforms in any combination
Waveforms can be move freely within the windows for easy comparison
Trigger display on any enabled waveform
Analog oscilloscope-like persistence control helps to study the trend of the waveforms (Refer to the above screen shot for visual effect)
Easy control for trigger-slope, trigger-level and trigger-point
One click to copy the waveforms to clipboard
Use mouse wheel to change the scaling
-
ExceLink (beta, tested on XP and Excel 2000) (ID=7007)
Single click sends data directly from Windaq to Excel spread sheet
Time stamp optional
To use Windaq add-ons,
1) Install the latest Windaq add-on to acquire the necessary components
2) Download and install Free Windaq add-ons by UltimaSerial
3) Run Windaq, and you will find the Windaq add-ons integrated into Windaq->View->Add-ons menu.
4) Do not change Windaq's configurations while add-ons running, or the add-on may terminate.
Paid registration of Windaq Add-ons is not required but highly appreciated. Unless Windaq add-ons are registered, an ad-line will be displayed in some of the add-on windows. As a bonus, paid registration users have access to CopyToClipboard feature of our charting add-ons.
