DATS Toolbox

DATS™ is a comprehensive package of data acquisition and signal processing tools. It is used mainly for sound and vibration measurement and analysis, but can be used for a wide range of engineering data. DATS™ has been developing for over 30 years.

The standard DATS.toolbox package has tools for

- Data Capture

- Analysis

- Viewing and visualisation

- Automation with graphical icons

- Automation with scripts/macros

- Report preparation

- Data import/export for other formats

Data Capture

Because Prosig make the hardware and the software, the data capture is fully integrated with the Prosig P8000 series hardware. The capture software contains everything needed to view, calibrate, measure and store your data.

Analysis

DATS™ software has an unparalleled depth of signal processing functions. DATS.toolbox package contains:

Sound and vibration analysis

Time domain analysis   more...

Frequency domain analysis   more...

Filtering

Report generation

Statistics

Calculus

Trigonometry

Statistical counting

Signal manipulation

Signal arithmetic

Add-on Analysis Options

DATS.toolbox comes with all of the functionality mentioned above. A number of add-on software options are available.

Import / Export

As well as capturing data using the P8000, DATS™ can be used on data from a huge range of sources using its unique import and export filters.

Graphs

The DATS™ environment offers a rich selection of different graph styles to view and explore your data. 2D styles include lines, bars, symbols, x v y graphs, bode plots, polar plots, modulus & phase and so on. For more complex applications there 3D styles such as isometric, colored surface, waterfall, contour, colormaps, intensity plots etc.

Visual Scripts

All of the capture, inport/export, analysis and graph functions can be easily combined using the DATS Visual Scripting interface.

Functions can be configured as necessary using a simple icon based interface. Visual Scripts can contain complex structures such as loops, if conditions as well as using forms and producing reports.

Report Generator - Intaglio

The Intaglio Report Generator makes it easy to produce top quality reports time after time. It uses the powerful OLE technology built in to Windows to add DATS™ graphs and other related information (numbers, labels and text) to standard Microsoft Word documents. Intaglio used a system of templates that, once created, can be used over and over again.

BASIC Scripts

For programmers, DATS™ comes with a built in BASIC scripting language. This can be used to automate any part of the DATS™ processing mechanism. Scripts can contain data capture, data import, analyses, user input forms, graphical results, report generation and data export. DATS™ BASIC Scripts also support OLE automation for seamless integration with other products such as Microsoft Office. Visual and BASIC Scripts can both be used for creating turn-key test systems and end-of-line testing applications.
