GETTING STARTED:
DAQARTA - GENERAL DESCRIPTION:Daqarta is a general-purpose Data AcQuisition And Real-Time Analysis system. It allows waveforms and spectra to be viewed WHEN THEY OCCUR, rather than after separate collection and analysis steps. The extra-large display area allows maximum visibility for fine detail or distant viewing, and both axes are completely marked with unit divisions in a 1, 2, 5 sequence... not odd-ball steps or ends-only markings. Logarithmic X- and/or Y-axis scales may be used for spectrum display... all in real-time.FEATURES:
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
REMINDER - FREE TRIAL PERIOD:Daqarta's free trial period is 30 sessions. After that, users are requested to register. Daqarta will still continue to function, but the Auto-Initialization Key Macro will no longer work... you'll see this message instead. In addition, the STIM3A Advanced Stimulus Signal Generator will no longer load, though you can still use the older STIM3 version. (You'll need to download that separately.)The free trial period can be extended indefinitely, including the Auto-Initialization macro and STIM3A operation, by use of the DEMO driver instead of a real ADC board.
SHAREWARE REGISTRATION:Daqarta is SHAREWARE. Unregistered copies may be freely distributed as long as no fees are charged beyond a reasonable and customary copying fee, not to exceed US $10.Daqarta is a major development, requiring over 11 years (16000+ hours) of effort to date. It easily outperforms products that cost over US $1000, yet runs well on older machines and has minimal memory needs. You can't buy performance like this anywhere else, at any price. Yet the whole point of Daqarta is to demonstrate that high performance can be affordable. Daqarta has deliberately been priced so low that the cost of registration should not be an obstacle to anyone. Interstellar Research thus hopes to put Daqarta into the hands of as many users as possible. But if you try Daqarta and still don't feel that it's worth the registration fee, please USE DAQARTA ANYWAY. We hope that you will come to appreciate Daqarta better, and that you will show it to friends and associates who may become users as well. Because the performance needs of individual and hobby users can be just as demanding as those of business and research users with more financial resources, Daqarta uses a two-tier pricing structure. The software is exactly the same, but a special price break is offered to encourage personal users to register:

Please include your full name, business/institution name, and street address, plus an Email address if you have one. This information will NEVER be released outside of Interstellar Research. You will be notified of new developments, special drivers, etc, via Email unless you specifically decline. It would also be helpful to know as many details as possible about the system your are using, including CPU type and speed, data acquisition board or sound card, graphics card, hard drive model or capacity, and a brief description of your application. This will help us improve Daqarta and better serve your needs with future versions and special plug-in modules. As always, all information is strictly confidential. Registered users will be sent a small file called REGUSER.DAT containing encrypted registration information. When this is placed in the normal Daqarta directory, it will be found on start-up and the user name and registration number will be displayed instead of the default 'UNREGISTERED SHAREWARE EVALUATION COPY' text.
