Medical research applications can be very demanding on PC-based instrumentation. The problem is the range and quantity of the signals measured. Consider those of a typical cardiovascular application:
Taken individually, any one of these signals does not present a particular challenge. But acquired as a group they will place tremendous demands on the software used to acquire, display, and record the information. Consider these typical requirements:
WinDaq software is designed specifically for these requirements. In fact, the software easily supports these signals acquired from large and even small animals where sample rates can increase by a factor of five or better. Since WinDaq software, in tandem with DI-720 hardware, is capable of a real time display and stream-to-disk rates as high as 200,000 samples per second, there are few (if any) applications in medical research that this system cannot handle. Examples of higher speed signals acquired every day by researchers with WinDaq systems include multi-channel EMG (needle and surface), ECG, evoked responses, HIS bundle activity, and even voice recordings for speech pathology.
Simply stated, if you're not using a WinDaq system to acquire your life sciences data, your PC-based instrument is more of a problem than a solution. No other PC-based alternative compares to WinDaq's speed, ease-of-use, and flexibility.
