Software coincidence of general purpose data acquisition cards with Matlab toolbox

Data acquisition systems are generally used to acquire physical data by usingtheir concerning software and hardware. There are many components of professionalmeasuring systems such as data acquisition hardware, transducers, signalconditioners, computer and software. In some professional testing and measurementsoftware packages are already installed on hardware components of data acquisitionsystems to simplify the applications. However, these applications are used for smallsize data acquisitions, for very low voltages and frequencies.In this thesis it is aimed that managing software of data acquisition cards andMatlab Data Acquisition Toolbox on one platform (Data Acquisition Control Panel).The preparing step of hardware initialization is made by written interface programautomatically. All requested DLL (Dynamic Link Library) for Matlab can beregistered, modified or automatically created, if it is not present on directory.Creating analog inputs and their necessary steps are reduced and linked to specialbuttons on Data Acquisition Control Manager. All unnecessary log filesautomatically removes from hard drives when digital oscilloscope program ends. It isnot necessary to be familiar Matlab, Data acquisition Toolbox and hardware interfaceprograms to use digital oscilloscope program of Matlab.Data Acquisition Control Manager is linked to softscope (Digital OscilloscopeProgram) to complete easy measurements and testing.Keywords: Data Acquisition, Test and Measurement, Matlab, Data AcquisitionToolbox
