Introduction to USB DrDAQ
Sensors
Thanks to the built-in sensors for light, sound and temperature you can start using your USB DrDAQ Data Logger straight out of the box. The USB
DrDAQ also has an RGB LED that you can program to show any 1 of 16.7 million colours.
When you want to do more with your DrDAQ you can thanks to the external sensor sockets. Simply buy an external sensor and your DrDAQ can
measure humidity, oxygen levels, external temperatures and more. We provide you with all you need to know to connect external sensors to your
DrDAQ so you can even design and use your own sensors.
Hobbyist, student or professional — DrDAQ is all you need
The USB DrDAQ Data Logger has something for everyone: whether you’re a teacher looking for a
fun way to perform data logging experiments in the classroom, a student wanting an inexpensive
introduction to data logging and oscilloscopes, a computer programmer who wants to use C++ to
monitor and control inputs and outputs of real-world devices, a hobbyist who wants to monitor and
control their environment, or a professional wanting to measure pH under laboratory conditions
— DrDAQ is all you need.
More than just a data logger
Thanks to the power of your DrDAQ you can also use it as
an oscilloscope or spectrum analyzer. Just run the supplied
PicoScope software and your DrDAQ becomes a single-
channel scope with a 100 kHz bandwidth, 8-bit resolution
and the ability to measure voltages of up to ±10 volts.
Digital I/Os
Your USB DrDAQ also includes 4 digital input/outputs. In
input mode these give you even more monitoring options.
When used as outputs they enable you to use your DrDAQ
to control external devices. 2 of the digital I/Os include a
pulse-counting function when used as inputs, and a pulse-
width modulation (PWM) output capability.
But that’s not all. Your DrDAQ also includes a signal
generator. The signal generator output not only includes
a standard function generator, but also an arbitrary
waveform generator (AWG) too. Using the AWG function
you can create your own waveforms.
