OVERVIEW

ADQuire is a user friendly monitoring and control program 
which is ideal for both inhouse and on-site data acquisition, 
observation and analysis.  It does not require any programming
yet provides powerful calculating and control capability.

ADQuire allows the insertion of equations by the user based
on the values obtained from the input data.  The results of
the equations as well as all data can be displayed in real 
time (enthalpy functions are included).

ADQuire also allows operations on each active point in real 
time so that a relevant unit (gpm, psi, volts, amps, Kw's, 
Kwh's, etc.) is determined and attributed to the point.

One of the attractive features of ADQuire is its Screen Creation
Module which will allow the fast development of flow diagrams and
tables showing monitored data and results.  Most displays are in
character mode to allow almost instantaneous transfer across phone
lines (even with a low baud rate modem).  Graphic mode is used for
the graph displays.

With the use of the Control Module, equations created by 
the user or individual input points can be used as the
controlled points.  The control operations can be changed
anytime on-site or through the use of another computer
connected by modem. Control modes can include open loop, 
closed loop, on/off or PID routines for each controlled point.
Data can be displayed on the screen in tabular or graphical form.
It can also be printed.  Graphs can be stored as PCX files for
word processing or graphic programs.  They can also be sent to
a printer immediately or at preset intervals.  Data stored 
through ADQuire can be imported to spreadsheet programs with ease.

ADQuire can accommodate up to 9 different test setups and change
from one setup to another by user request.  An example is a system
to be tested under heating and cooling modes.  Different equations
might be necessary; different control parameters may be required.
These can be setup separately and the two tests taken one after 
the other by requesting the proper test. This is also useful if
you want to look at different pieces of equipment in a system and
analyze each in more detail. A general test for the system can
be run first and then separate tests can be taken for the
different components.

ADQuire can operate four cards of each type simultaneously.

MINIMUM CONFIGURATION

In order to operate ADQuire you need:

  An IBM PC compatible 286 or higher computer

  An EGA or VGA monitor. A monochrome monitor can be used if
   graphs are not shown.

  A hard drive with a minimum of 20 Mbyte capacity.

  A minimum of 1 Mbyte of RAM (an additional 1 Mbyte of
   expanded memory is useful when ADQuire includes both data
   acquisition and control).

  The necessary data acquisition and control cards
   for your project. These cards can be purchased from
   Keithley Metrabyte (800-348-0033) or from Omega 
   Engineering (800-327-4333/ 800-82-66342).  ADQuire
   presently accommodates the DAS-8, EXP-16, CTM-05, 
   PIO-24, MTHERM-20, MAO-08 and other similar cards.
