Data and Database Management Software
Software graphically analyzes relevant data.
Press Release Summary:
DataView analyzes large amounts of data generated during high dynamic data acquisition with multi-channel measurement systems. Compression algorithms minimize database size and facilitate handling. Software gives overview of data on compressed file and displays data from original file if it is necessary to examine aspects in detail. Intelligent Magnifier shows uncompressed time sections of original data record where resolution is insufficient to display transient events.
Original Press Release:
Software Analyses Relevant Data Quickly
HBM's has launched DataView software to graphically analyze large amounts of data generated during high dynamic data acquisition with multi-channel measurement systems.
During vehicle road test programs, for example, multi-channel measurement systems are used to obtain dynamic data. This data can easily amount to several million measured values per data record and generate gigabyte sized files.
Analyzing these files is necessary but very time-consuming, both in terms of handling the files and generating any diagrams, using existing methods.
To meet this challenge, HBM has developed compression algorithms that markedly reduce the database size and facilitate handling. During measurements two files - an original and a compressed file - are created. Because Dataview is an intelligent tool it gives an overview of the data on the compressed file and then displays data from the original file if it is necessary to examine aspects in detail. This dramatically reduces the time to analyze the data.
To give an overview of the signal behavior, DataView creates curve representations of the files. It also provides an "Intelligent Magnifier" to show uncompressed time sections of the original data record where the resolution is insufficient to display transient events.
DataView helps users keep track of their location in the data record by displaying the current section in a second window. The software permits the simultaneous display of several channels from various files with different sample rates.
Users can easily check large data records for individual events and highlight relevant sections for further detailed analysis.
DataView is available as an integral part of catman® 4.5 Professional and Enterprise versions.
