Dataq Instrument Port Devices Driver



For purposes of this document devno (element from di_open) = Device ID.

DATAQ Instruments Developer Network DATAQ ActiveX Controls allow users to write custom software to interface with DATAQ Instruments Hardware Devices. DATAQ ActiveX Controls are free to use, and install automatically when WinDaq Acquisition Software is installed. The DATAQ Instruments DI-710 Series of products is a family of eight instruments for general purpose and stand-alone data acquisition applications. Options include interface type, input voltage range, and PC-connected or stand-alone data logger operation. Interface options are USB or Ethernet.

1The DI-145, DI-148U, DI-149, DI-155, DI-158U/UP, DI-245, 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 Virtual COM Ports.

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. See di_open for more information.

3xx = COM port number as 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. Go to Virtual COM Ports 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.
