MicroDAQ Toolbox For Scilab

The MicroDAQ toolbox for Scilab is a free software for control and data acquisition application development. Software features automatic code generation from Xcos diagram and data acquisition capabilities. Toolbox lets you make a variety of measurements directly from Scilab without the need to convert the data or import from other software. Software includes functions for controlling analog inputs, analog outputs, digital I/O (quadrature encoders, PWM).

Automatic code generation can be used to create control application. Generated DSP application is loaded on MicroDAQ with Wi-Fi or Ethernet automatically. User can access live data from DSP application or save it with 'To workspace' or 'To File' blocks. Depending on model complexity and used blocks model code can be executed up to 200khz on MicroDAQ DSP core giving user possibility to create advanced digital signal processing, control and measurement application.

LabView Support Package

The LabView Support Package allows LabView user to use MicroDAQ with LabView software. Support package provides VIs for all MicroDAQ peripherals. It also provides advanced functions for data acquisition. The software unique features integrate DSP management functions allowing a user to create real-time control applications. The LabView Support Package contains VIs for DSP management which allows starting, access live DSP data and stopping DSP application execution on MicroDAQ. This unique feature enables LabView Base version users to create real-time applications control application which was only possible with expensive hardware and software.

MLink - C/C++ library

The MLink library is a programming interface for programming analog input, analog output, digital I/O, on MicroDAQ DAQ devices. The library can be used on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, Linux and MacOS operating systems. The user can use MLink library to create custom C/C++ application as well as C# and Java after creating an MLink wrapper to access library functions. Unique MLink features allow MicroDAQ DSP core management allowing the user to embed real-time processing on dedicated hardware with standard C/C++ desktop application.

Python

Thanks to its flexibility, Python is one of the most popular programming languages. The PyMLink allows use MicroDAQ device in Python applications. All major features like data acquisition and DSP management functions are available now for Python users. This enables a programmer to create advanced data acquisition as well as utilize MicroDAQ DSP core to achieve real-time processing in Python application.
