Daqarta for DOS
Data AcQuisition And Real-Time Analysis
Shareware for Legacy Systems
(Use Daqarta for Windows with modern systems)

From the Daqarta for DOS Help system:

GETTING STARTED with DAQARTA for DOS:


DAQARTA - GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

Daqarta is a general-purpose Data AcQuisition And Real-Time Analysis system. It allows waveforms and spectra to be viewed WHEN THEY OCCUR, rather than after separate collection and analysis steps. The extra-large display area allows maximum visibility for fine detail or distant viewing, and both axes are completely marked with unit divisions in a 1, 2, 5 sequence... not odd-ball steps or ends-only markings. Logarithmic X- and/or Y-axis scales may be used for spectrum display... all in real-time.

FEATURES:


SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

  • PC-compatible system running any x86-type CPU or equivalent, including original 4.77 MHz 8088 PC/XT. Math coprocessor not used.
  • MS-DOS operating system or equivalent. Windows 9x allows a "shortcut" icon to true MS-DOS mode that works very well... complete step-by-step instructions appear in the README.TXT file. For Windows 3.x you must exit the Windows session first. Daqarta WILL NOT run under Windows 3.x or Windows 9x by simply clicking on the normal MS-DOS icon. Daqarta WILL NOT run at all on Windows NT, XP, 2000, or Vista.
  • EGA, VGA, or better video, with at least 256K of video RAM.
  • 640K system RAM recommended. Daqarta typically uses less than 300K. Extended memory above 1 Meg can be used for Direct-to-Disk (DDisk) Memory mode, if desired. It can also be used by STIM3A to Play WAV files as signal sources with modulation and rate control.
  • Hard drive is recommended but not mandatory except for DDisk recording.

REMINDER - FREE TRIAL PERIOD:

Daqarta's free trial period is 30 sessions. After that, users are requested to register. Daqarta will still continue to function, but the Auto-Initialization Key Macro will no longer work... you'll see this message instead. In addition, the STIM3A Advanced Stimulus Signal Generator will no longer load, though you can still use the older STIM3 version. (You'll need to download that separately.)

The free trial period can be extended indefinitely, including the Auto-Initialization macro and STIM3A operation, by use of the DEMO driver instead of a real ADC board.

Better yet, if you are a hobby user you can obtain a FREE registration:
