DAQFactory has the ability to send emails, optionally with attachments.  Emails can be sent out at any time with any message.  This can be used to email you a daily status, or email when an alarm occurs.  You can even have DAQFactory email you your data every day.  DAQFactory can also retrieve emails from a POP3 server.

DAQFactory can perform Web service calls to retrieve data from the web.

DAQFactory can send and receive files using FTP.

DAQFactory can directly and easily connect to the DAQConnect service (see www.daqconnect.com) allowing you to view your data in real time (at least Internet real time) from a browser any where in the world without having to put the DAQFactory system on the Internet or open up your firewall or router settings.  This provides a much more secure solution than allowing external Internet traffic to your DAQFactory system and eliminates the need to be an IT expert or get your IT personnel involved.  It also limits the processor load on the DAQFactory system when you have multiple users viewing your data remotely.  If you do not wish to use DAQConnect you can use the Page.Capture() functions and an external web server.

Finally, DAQFactory also can act as a DDE server allowing you to pass data in real time to a DDE client program such as Excel.
