How to identify VDAS® Compatible Products
VDAS® Software For both VDAS ® MkII and VDAS ® Onboard, the software is intuitive and easy to use, with clear and convenient data display options. The software looks and works in a similar way for each TecQuipment VDAS ® -compliant product. This saves time as the user does not have to learn how to use new software when changing experiments. The VDAS ® software is available to download free of charge for an unlimited number of users from the TecQuipment website: tecquipment.com/downloads
TecQuipment products that are supported by VDAS ® MkII can be quickly identified by this logo and require a VDAS ® hardware unit in order to gather data. The hardware unit is available in either frame-mounting (VDAS ® -F) or bench-mounting (VDAS ® -B) versions. Both units work the same but the choice gives more convenience to the user. For example, some TecQuipment VDAS ® -compliant products have an integral instrumentation frame, so the frame-mounting interface unit is the best choice. Products featuring the VDAS ® Onboard logo have the VDAS ® interface integrated into the hardware of the product as standard. For these products it is not necessary to purchase an additional VDAS ® -B or VDAS ® -F unit. Simply download the free software from the TecQuipment website, fit the supplied USB cable between the apparatus and a suitable computer, select the apparatus being used from the VDAS ® software options menu and the system is ready to go.
