Introduction
From a functional standpoint, the DataTrax2 program is really two programs. It is primarily a
data acquisition application, whose main task is to record analog experimental data as data
points (with X and Y values) and store these data points on the computer. The second task of
the DataTrax2 program is to graphically display the collected data in a way that is under-
standable to the user. Chapter 2 explains the various controls and options relative to the acqui-
sition of data. This chapter will discuss considerations regarding the display of collected data on
the various windows in the DataTrax2 user interface.
User
Interface
The DataTrax2 user interface contains six primary windows; Main, Analysis, XY, FFT, Marks,
and Journal. There are also dialog windows, accessible through the Preferences selection in
the Edit menu, which provide controls of the Channel, Stimulator, Views, Sequences and
Options. Most of the interface related features in DataTrax2 can be found in the Main window
(Figure 3-1 on page 20). DataTrax2 can display up to 64 channels in the Main window.
