4. ATI DAQ Software
The computer that you connect your F/T system's data acquisition card to performs the important
functions of converting the data acquisition card data into useful force and torque values and
making these values available for use to you.
The ATI DAQ F/T Software CD contains reusable software components that you can use to build
your application, as well as sample applications to get you started. (Unless otherwise noted, all
Windows
components and applications support Windows

4.1
Reusable Software Components
4.1.1 ATI DAQFT Automation Server
This Windows
and converts raw voltages from any data acquisition system into forces and torques.
ATIDAQFT can be used in development platforms that support ActiveX or Automation
containment, including Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft.NET
Platform, National Instruments LabVIEW, and many others. Its programming API is
documented in the ATIDAQFT help files.
4.1.2 C Library
This code library uses standard ANSI C to read calibration files, configure the transducer
system, and convert voltage data from any data acquisition system into forces and torques.
4.2
Sample Applications
4.2.1 Windows
This executable program is a good place to try out your new transducer system in Windows
It uses National Instruments-DAQ and ATIDAQFT to give a real-time display of F/T data
from National Instruments E-Series Multifunction I/O devices. It provides complete options
for configuration of the F/T system. Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 source is included.
4.2.2 LabVIEW Sample
This is a demo application in LabVIEW using the ATIDAQFT Automation server and the
Analog Input VIs provided by NI-DAQ. This sample application provides a real-time display
of F/T data.
