CAN Network Data and Analog Data Acquired Simultaneously(Novi, MI, Test-Expo Show) HEM Data Corporation is announcing the release of DAWN™ version 2.0, a complete PC-based software and hardware system to acquire data from an in-vehicle or factory network. DAWN is a versatile tool that is designed to acquire data from networks conforming to both CAN and J1850 standards.DAWN not only acquires data from sensors via the network, but also allows the user to add sensors to acquire this information directly with A/D hardware. The data from both the network and A/D are acquired simultaneously. As this data is acquired, DAWN will display the data in real-time as a Y-T or X-Y plot, as a stripchart, or as a meter (digital, analog or bar). Up to 64 channels of data (parameters) can be overplotted on one graph, and up to 100 graphs can be displayed on one page (screen). The user has the ability to define 8 independently configured display pages to quickly see the data he wants. Advanced versions of DAWN will analyze the data in the time and frequency domain, making it ideal for advanced vehicle analysis, pass/fail testing, vibration testing, monitoring and diagnostics.DAWN integrates HEM Data’s Snap-Master™ data acquisition and analysis software with various hardware options including an external box, PCMCIA card, or a plug-in PCI card. This makes DAWN ideal for in-vehicle or laboratory testing. DAWN works with hardware from Cubic Systems and National Instruments. Cubic Systems hardware works with both CAN and J1850 protocols, while the National Instruments hardware focuses on CAN. Snap-Master also works with over 250 models of A/D hardware including those manufactured by Dataq, Measurement Computing, Keithley, National Instruments and IOtech. Snap-Master supports digital I/O, analog output, and counter/timer functions. Snap-Master is also ideal for post processing of data.System RequirementsDAWN works with any Pentium 1 PC or higher with Microsoft Windows® XP/2000/NT. Visit www.hemdata.com.
