The Integra Series startup software, based on a TestPoint runtime, allows users to configure the system, log multiple channels of data in real time, troubleshoot any given channel, then send data to disk. The configuration is created in the familiar Windows "point-and-click" environment, so programming or writing lines of code is unnecessary.

This free software is designed to get basic PC-based data acquisition tasks "Up & Running" as quickly as possible. It accommodates GPIB boards from both Keithley and National Instruments directly, the RS-232 interfaces, or the Ethernet interface of the 2701. The software is designed to run on PCs with Windows 95 (OSR2), 98, or 2000/NT/XP.

• Choose Current Device ID, then initialize the Integra with the click of a button. The software determines which input modules are installed automatically.
• Use measurement setups to add/delete, configure, and name the channels to be scanned. Each channel can be programmed to operate independently, allowing tremendous flexibility.
• For multiple channels that have the same measurement function, "group" and "aggregate" channel setups simplify the configuration process. A "group" list is a series of channels in sequential order, while an "aggregate" list is a series of channels in random order.
• Set-up configuration information can be saved to disk, then later recalled as a specific start-up condition.
• The Single Channel View (above) displays the measured data on a selected channel. This is a good way to be sure the channel setups are correct before initiating automated scanning or datalogging. In addition, this functionality greatly simplifies troubleshooting.
• Configure the acquisition sample size, trigger, and reading rate.
• View the real-time data graphically.

• Use the Scanning Mode View (above) to scan and acquire data from multiple channels. View up to eight channels at once on the graph.
• View and select the channels to be included in the scan list. A scan list can be created to log data automatically from up to 80 independently configured channels.
• Configure the number of times to scan through the input channels, as well as any delay times that may be necessary. Select from a variety of trigger sources, including the real-time clock.
• On-line help is just a mouse click away.
