The DAQ1000 has eight ports that connect to analog sensors. Each port has two modes: Voltage Input (for ordinary 5V sensors) and Voltage Ratio Input (for ratiometric sensors). The Phidgets library allows you to select your Phidget sensors’ part numbers to automatically convert the voltage into appropriate measurement units.

Part 1: Setup

Welcome to the DAQ1000 user guide! In order to get started, make sure you have the following hardware on hand:

Next, you will need to connect the pieces:

DAQ1000 Functional.jpeg
  1. Connect the DAQ1000 to the VINT Hub using the Phidget cable.
  2. Connect the VINT Hub to your computer with a USB cable.
  3. Connect a Phidgets sensor or other 5V device to one of the DAQ1000's inputs.


Phidget Control Panel

In order to demonstrate the functionality of the DAQ1000, the Phidget Control Panel running on a Windows machine will be used.


The Phidget Control Panel is available for use on both macOS and Windows machines.

Windows

To open the Phidget Control Panel on Windows, find the Ph.jpg icon in the taskbar. If it is not there, open up the start menu and search for Phidget Control Panel

Windows PhidgetTaskbar.PNG

macOS

To open the Phidget Control Panel on macOS, open Finder and navigate to the Phidget Control Panel in the Applications list. Double click on the Ph.jpg icon to bring up the Phidget Control Panel.


For more information, take a look at the getting started guide for your operating system:


Linux users can follow the getting started with Linux guide and continue reading here for more information about the DAQ1000.

First Look

After plugging the DAQ1000 into your computer and opening the Phidget Control Panel, you will see something like this:

DAQ1000 Panel.jpg


The Phidget Control Panel will list all connected Phidgets and associated objects, as well as the following information:

  • Serial number: allows you to differentiate between similar Phidgets.
  • Channel: allows you to differentiate between similar objects on a Phidget.
  • Version number: corresponds to the firmware version your Phidget is running. If your Phidget is listed in red, your firmware is out of date. Update the firmware by double-clicking the entry.


The Phidget Control Panel can also be used to test your device. Double-clicking on an object will open an example.

Part 2: Using Your Phidget

About

The DAQ1000 has eight ports that connect to analog sensors. Each port has two modes: Voltage Input (for ordinary 5V sensors) and Voltage Ratio Input (for ratiometric sensors). The Phidgets library allows you to select your Phidget sensors’ part numbers to automatically convert the voltage into appropriate measurement units.

Explore Your Phidget Channels Using The Control Panel

You can use your Control Panel to explore your Phidget's channels.

1. Open your Control Panel, and you will find the following channels:

DAQ1000 Panel.jpg

2. Double click on a channel to open an example program. Each channel belongs to the Voltage Input or Voltage Ratio Input channel class:

Voltage Input: Non-ratiometric Analog sensors and monitoring 5V digital circuits

In your Control Panel, double click on "Voltage Input":

DAQ1000-VoltageInput.jpg
Voltage Ratio Input: Analog ratiometric sensors

In your Control Panel, double click on "Voltage Ratio Input":

Part 3: Create your Program

Part 4: Advanced Topics and Troubleshooting

Expand All
How do I know what channel, serial number, or hub port to use in my program?

Before you open a Phidget channel in your program, you can set these properties to specify which channel to open. You can find this information through the Control Panel.

1. Open the Control Panel and double-click on the red map pin icon:

The locate Phidget button is found in the device information box

2. The Addressing Information window will open. Here you will find all the information you need to address your Phidget in your program.

All the information you need to address your Phidget


See the Phidget22 API for your language to determine exact syntax for each property.

Setting the Change Trigger and Data Interval

The Change Trigger is the minimum change in the sensor data needed to trigger a new data event.

The Data Interval is the time (in ms) between data events sent out from your Phidget.

The Data Rate is the reciprocal of Data Interval (measured in Hz), and setting it will set the reciprocal value for Data Interval and vice-versa.

You can modify one or both of these values to achieve different data outputs. You can learn more about these properties here.

Analog Inputs

If you want to know more about the capabilities of the analog inputs on this device, check the Analog Input Primer.
