This article covers Advantech Advantech's USB series of multifunction data acquisition cards, the USB4704 and USB4716.
TLA developed DAQWare for XNavi based on theAdvantech USB-47Series of data acquisition cards, deployed with enhanced experimental instrumentation functions, are able to cover the desktop application of the laboratory for the main engineering education engineering courses. It provides dual-channel oscilloscopes, dual-channel programmable DC voltage regulators, and voltmeters required for experimental teaching. In addition, fully supporting the series of course lab kits released by TLA, DAQWare for XNavi provides the specific experimental project support required for the complete TLA series of course lab kits.

Advntech USB-47 series multifunctional data acquisition card, consists ofAdvantech (Advantech)Production.Advantech USB-4704respond in singingUSB-4716Available are 8 or 16 single-ended/4 or 8 differential analog input channels with 14-bit or 16-bit ADCs (sampling rate: 48kS/s or 200kS/s), 2 analog output channels, 16 digital I/Os and 1 counter input.

DAQWare for XNavi is deployed based on Advantech XNavi driver tool and LabVIEW 2015 development environment, please read the following instructions carefully before use.
1. Download DAQWare for XNavi toolkit and unzip it to get Xnavi_OfflineSetup_DAQWare for XNavi Release_20240222 and DAQWare for XNavi 0.0.1 Install folders, which correspond to the Advantech XNavi driver and SDK and DAQWare for XNavi 0.0.1 Install folder respectively.
2. Run Xnavi_OfflineSetup_DAQWare for XNavi Release_20240222.exe to start installing Advantech XNavi driver and SDK.
3. Run setup.exe in the DAQWare for XNavi 0.0.1 Install folder to install DAQWare for XNavi.
4. After completing the installation, connect the Advantech USB-4704 via USB to the computer where the above software is installed and correctly install the TLA-004A Sensors Course Lab Kit or the TLA-007A Principles of Automatic Control Course Lab Kit.
5. Find the DAQWare for XNavi shortcut in the Start Menu directory on the desktop of your Windows operating system and run it.
6, the program will run after the interface shown in Figure 1.

7, for example: the use of TLA-004X sensor course experiment kit, complete the relative humidity measurement experiment interface as shown in Figure 2, Figure 3.


In the lab desktop application environment, students can conduct experiments using DAQWare for XNavi. As shown in Figure 4, it is also possible to participate in sensor experiments based on the DAQNavi API as well as the LabVIEW programming environment throughout.
