Software
Dracal Technologies provides a free set of data acquisition and integration tools. This includes a graphical user interface for quick data visualization and logging, as well as command-line tools (CLI) for easy and efficient integration of your data into your own systems.
[General] Add support for the DXC120 product series
- [General] Add ability to calibrate the CO2 concentration of the DXC220
- [QTenki] Fix MATH channel numbers appearing in hexadecimal in the Logging tab
[Command-line] Enable line buffered mode to support piping the output in log mode. Under Windows, buffering is completely disabled to acheive this.
- [Command-line] Fix a 2.1.6 bug where the logging interval (-I argument) was ignored on Windows.
Add support for calibration (new command-line tool ‘usbtenkical’ and QTenki support). Requires products with calibration support.
- Internal changes for greater performance and precision in some cases.
- Add support for VCP products (visualize VCP products in QTenki with Linux/Mac OS X and adjust the set_protocol command in usbtenkiset to support the VCP protocol).
- [QTenki] The Graph title is now remembered between sessions.
- [QTenki] Graph axis label can now be set, and remembered between sessions.
- [QTenki] Source IDs can now be selected using the mouse (eg: For copying).
- [QTenki] The number of math channels can now be configured.
- [QTenki] Use default values for alias instead of leaving them empty.
- [QTenki] Add check-all buttons to ease management of many channels.
- [QTenki] Display the sensor model in the title of each entry in the sources tab.
- [QTenki] Windows only: Add a shortcut to open a terminal in the installation directory, for quick command-line tool access.
Add support for mathermatical equations.
- Add an about button to display sensor information.
- Provide better default graph colors.
- Add a way to change graph colors and line styles.
- Improved default names for graph traces without aliases.
Add support for concentration unit conversion (ppm, ppb, percent)
- Default concentration units for DXC-200 is now Percent.
- Add reset and set_protocol commands to usbtenkiset
- Add support for Internal/External T/RH channels
- Add low temperature compensaion ms5611-based readings (USB-BAR20 and PTH-200)

Data visualisation and logging
QTenki
QTenki is a free software from Dracal Technology for logging data from our USB sensors. It features an easy-to-use graphical user interface that supports all of our sensors communicating via the USB protocol. The built-in graphical module provides a quick and easy way to view data in real time. It also saves data in text files (configurable format) for importing into a spreadsheet or graphics software for later analysis.
- Works under Windows (XP, Win7/8/10 64&32-bit), Mac OS X and Linux
- Supports the simultaneous use of an unlimited number of Dracal sensors on the same computer
- Simultaneous and synchronized recording of all types of sensors
- Records captured data to text files (configurable format)
- The recording file can be viewed in real time (new values are added dynamically)
- Easy-to-use calibration manager for our calibratable products
- Up to 50 additionnal channels allowing the use of mathematical formulas
Command-line interface for data integration
usbtenkiget
Our QTenki software also comes with our free command line tool usbtenkiget.
This tool, which QTenki shares the resources, allows you to directly access your data and gives you all the autonomy you need to integrate them into other programs.
- Works under Windows (XP, Win7/8/10 64&32-bit), Mac OS X and Linux(instructions)
- Simultaneous and synchronized recording of all types of sensors
- Sensor interrogation by unique serial number
- Export to stdout
- Configurable measurement units (°C, °F, Kelvin…)
- Code examples in numerous programming languages available
- One concrete example of integration within LabVIEW available
