Remote View hardware: Frequently asked questions
Is the data stored in the cloud? No, the cloud is used to distribute the data only.
How does VDAS ® connect to the network? The VDAS ® hardware connects to a PC, which must be connected via WiFi/Ethernet to the internet and the cloud to share the data. Is a demo licence available? Yes, for a two-week free demonstration licence please contact sales@tecquipment.com What is the difference between VDAS ® software and VDAS ® e-lab? The VDAS ® software is part of the entire VDAS ® solution from TecQuipment that includes hardware that is either Onboard, or available separately. VDAS ® e-lab is the remote data transfer functionality within the VDAS ® software. VDAS ® software is available free of charge, but in order to access the VDAS ® e-lab remote data functionality an annual licence is required. Can students work independently recording and analysing experiment data? Yes, because each student is working within their own version of VDAS ® , receiving the live experiment data through the VDAS ® e-lab functionality. Can experiment data be shared? Yes, they can either save the experiment data as a .dat file that can be opened within VDAS ® by another person, or exported as an Excel or HTML document. If you are running an online classroom session at the same time, there is the option to share your screen as well. What teaching equipment can I use VDAS ® e-lab with? The teaching equipment needs to be VDAS ® enabled and have VDAS ® either Onboard or have a separate VDAS ® hardware unit (VDAS ® -B or VDAS ® -F) connected to the apparatus and a suitable computer running VDAS ® 4.0.0 or higher. Do I need VDAS ® integrating hardware (VDAS ® -B and VDAS ® -F)? If the experiment does not have VDAS ® Onboard, you need to have a VDAS ® hardware unit connected to the teaching equipment and the demonstrator’s computer running VDAS ® with VDAS ® e-lab enabled. here to help you A team of specialist customer care personnel are available to answer a range of questions relating to technical details, spare parts and maintenance: customer.care@tecquipment.com
Can I run VDAS ® e-lab separately to the Remote View Hardware? Yes, they are entirely independent of each other.
Can I use the Remote View Hardware with other equipment? Yes, this is independent to VDAS ® and VDAS ® e-lab. You can use it on non-VDAS ® - enabled TecQuipment products like the Engineering Science range, and third-party non-TecQuipment teaching apparatus in your laboratories. You recommend using ManyCam to integrate the live streaming of multiple cameras into one visual feed, but can I use other software for this function? Yes, other options are available on the market. We recommend ManyCam because of its extensive functionality and that it is compatible with the major online meeting classroom platforms.
