DynoWare Type 2825A...

Software for Data Acquisition and Evaluation

Kistler DynoWare is a universal and easy to use software, which

is particularly suitable for force measurements with dynamo-
meters or single and multi-component force sensors.

• Simple operation
• Configuration and control of Kistler measuring instruments
via USB, RS-232C or IEEE-488
• Useful signal evaluation and calculation functions
• Simultaneous recording of up to 28 measuring channels
• Realtime visualization of measured curves
• The software is ideal for the acquisition and evaluation of
physical measurands

Description
For signal analysis, DynoWare offers the technician realtime
visualization of the measured curves together with useful
calculation and graphics functions. Apart from simple con- Technical Data
