DAQMaster Functions
Main Function Panel
The main function panel includes three major functions — Device
Manager, Software Manager, and Task Manager. Depending on
the selected main function, the device manager and software
manager provide three view modes for detailed product informa-
tion and enable all corresponding functions for device/interface
products and/or software application from the sub-function panel.
Device Manager
The DAQMaster Device Manager comes with item-specific tools
which you can use to configure, diagnose, or test your system. As
you navigate through the DAQMaster, the contents of the product
page and sub-functions change according to the selected main
function. The Device Manager simplifies configuration of plug-in I/
O devices via a Windows-based configuration utility. It also comes
with a test utility that allows you to verify hardware operations
including analog input/output, digital input/output, and counter/
timer function. Refer to Chapter 4 for more information.
Software Manager
The DAQMaster Software Manager comes with an update tool
and utilities for your ADLINK test and measurement applications.
Featuring ease of use and access, the Software Manager enables

reference code for future programming, and convert captured raw
data into scaled information. Refer to Chapter 5 for more informa-
tion.
