3.2 PCIS-DASK Data File Converter utility (DAQCvt)

The data files, generated by the PCIS-DASK functions performing continuous

data acquisition followed by storing the data to disk, is written in binary format.

Since a binary file can’t be read by the normal text editor and can’t be used to

analyze the accessed data by Excel, PCIS-DASK provides a convenient tool

DAQCvt to convert the binary file to the file format read easily. The default

location of this utility is <InstallDir>\Util directory. The DAQCvt main window is

as the following figure:

The DAQCvt main window includes two frames. The upper frame, Input File

frame is used for the source data file and the lower frame is used for the

destination file.

To load the source binary data file, type the binary data file name in File

Path field or click Browser button to select the source file from Input File frame,

and then click Load button. As the file is loaded, the information related to the

data file, e.g. data type, data width, AD Range, …etc., are shown in the

corresponding fields in “Input File” frame, and the default converted data file

path and format are also listed as the figure below.
