DASYLab Extension Toolkit
The Extension Toolkit for DASYLab 2016 allows you to create your own DASYLab modules. The toolkit contains descriptions of the DASYLab interfaces and demonstrates how various module types can be implemented in DASYLab. Working with the DLL toolkit requires knowledge of C programming and Windows programming.

Q&A
- Does DASYLab2020 acquire and log data then export that data to spreadsheet in XML or CSV?
-
Wanted to know if DASYLab 2020 work with a FLUKE 2638A Hydra Series III Data Acquisition System to take snapshots of Temperature and pressures across up to 30 channels at once, up to every 10 minutes for 24 hours, and export that data to MS Excel spreadsheetDASYLab will collect, display, and log data to a .CSV. Which can then be exported into Excel. Support for TCP/IP devices would come from the ICom input/output DASYLab modules.
- Why can't I connect to my remote OPC server using DASYLab's DataSocket module?
-
In order for an OPC server to function as a true server application and connect to the DASYLab software, located on a remote client PC, the particular OPC server you are using must be configured for remote network operation. Most of these servers utilize Windows DCOM functionality for this operation and this support needs to be configured on all computers before DASYLab and other clients will be able to see the OPC server across a network.
Digilent does not supply technical support for configuring your particular OPC server. You will have to contact your OPC server company and request the setup procedure for client/server operations across a network.
Once this configuration is complete, DASYLab should automatically detect the OPC server on the remote PC by using the browse functionality located inside the DASYLab DataSocket Import module. There are no special settings or configuration required in DASYLab for OPC connection.
Note: If the OPC server and the DASYLab software are installed on the same exact computer, then you should not have to perform the configuration stated above. DASYLab should always be able to locate the OPC server on a local PC without any additional configuration.
- Can upgrade DASYLAb Basic to Pro?
-
I am using DASYLab Basic and would like to upgrade to Pro version. If possible, how can I do it?Yes, there are options for upgrading your DASYLab BASIC license to a PRO license. Cost will depend on what your current DASYLab version is at i.e. DASYLab 13, DASYLab 2016, or DASYLab 2020. Please contact our distributor in Vietnam for assistance with your upgrade.
- Will my Version 12 worksheets work with Version 2020?
-
Usually worksheets migrate with little or no changes. However, the hardware drivers for any DAQ hardware you use very likely changed. We recommend that you download and install the 28 day DASYLab evaluation version and perform a trial run using your DASYLab 12 worksheet. You can then determine if newer hardware drivers are needed. Please feel free to contact us for any advice.
- Evaluation copy usable time
-
How many days of use does the evaluation copy give you?The Evaluation version of DASYLab will last for 28 days.
- Does the basic version allow analog inputs to control specified digital outputs?
-
I'm looking to have my DAQ (Measurement Computing USB-1608G) output a digital signal based on the value of a voltage through an analog input.Hello, thank you for your inquiry. Yes, DASYLab BASIC will give you the necessary programming tools to create a control application using the analog inputs and digital outputs of your Measurement Computing DAQ device. Please contact Sales Engineering at 1-800-234-4232 Ext-3 if you have any additional questions.
- How many years for a Pro Dasylab license?
-
Hi, If I buy a Pro Dasylab package, how many PCs I can install for? How many years for its license?DASYLab is a per-seat license, so only one copy may be installed. The license for the specific version of DASYLab that you purchase, has no expiration date.
- Runtime License
-
I develop program pages in the Dasylab pro. I want to install this program in another computer, which is dedicated to the machine. For this I hope I need to buy the Run Time license from you, which cost around 500 USD. I want to know, whether for each time I install a program pages in other computer, I need to buy this license or if I buy this license once, I can use this license to install the program pages in any number of the other computers.DASYLab’s license agreement is for a single seat. This includes DASYLab Run-Time. Therefore, each target system will require its own run-time license.
- Does this version of DASYLAB allow you to make notes and annotations to a saved file?
-
DASYLab has several options for saving your data. If the Ascii or CSV file format has been selected then you should have no problem using a text editor or Excel to edit your saved data file. Keep in mind that the file format must be setup by the developer prior to running it with our DASYLab RunTime license.
- Does sound card need to match for run time version and full version?
-
If a worksheet is developed with the full version and it uses a message that plays a wave file will the run time version work if the computer that the run time version is installed on has a different sound card than the computer that the full version is installed on.Yes, the worksheet will work on any other Windows computer with an installed sound card. The Message module uses Windows services to play the WAV file. The list of sound files is stored in the Message module, but the sound files themselves are not. When you move that worksheet to a different computer, you need to ensure that you copy the sound files to the correct location on the new computer. This is especially important for DASYLab Runtime, as you cannot edit the Message module properties. DASYLab Versions 12 (and later) offer the DASYLab Configurator. You can use the Configurator to create a package of the files, worksheet, any images that you use, the sound files, etc, and that package can be configured to unpack the files into the correct locations. This ensures that a worksheet deployed to DASYLab Runtime will have all the necessary files.
- I currently have a Dasylab 10 full licence. Will this be the upgrade to choose when I want to upgrade to Dasylab 13 pro?
-
Upgrading from DASYLab 10 FULL to DASYLab 13 PRO will be a two step process. First you must bring your current version up to date by purchasing the DASYLab UPD FULL upgrade. Once you are at version 13 you can then proceed with upgrading your FULL license to a PRO by purchasing DASYLab UPGF2P (this can all take place within the same transaction) The last 5 digits of your serial number will be required when upgrading.
