Prosig : ESP Software (DATS-lite)

DATS-lite Software

DATS-lite, the software supplied with the ESP system, provides a very easy to use software package for the investigation and reporting of experimental and theoretical data. Data may be captured from the P8004 system, imported from a wide variety of formats or generated in ESP where it may be manipulated, edited and analysed with 1000’s of signal processing tools. ESP analyses include Time Domain Analysis, Filtering, Frequency Domain Analysis, Dataset Manipulation / Editing, Arithmetic, Calculus, Probability and Statistics.

Import

The ESP import functions allow data to be imported from numerous sources. Import formats include ASCII, binary, SDF, LabView, MATLAB, UFF (Universal) and many more. Equivalent export functions are provided for most formats.

Signal Processing

100’s of analysis functions with 1000’s of parameter variations are contained within the very comprehensive range of tools. Analysis categories include

Import
Export
Time Domain Analysis
Filtering
Frequency Domain Analysis
Dataset Manipulation / Editing
Arithmetic
Calculus
Probability

Automation

By design each ESP analysis carries out one basic activity. The data structure allows the output of one analysis to be the input to another analysis. This simplicity allows analysis sequences to be constructed interactively and then saved and reused time and time again.

Data Classification and Q.A. Tracking

As well as capturing, importing, manipulating and storing the data values, ESP also stores supplementary information and complete Q.A. history with the data. All acquisition set up information is stored along with analysis results, as well as the details of the input signals, the parameter settings and the version, date and library information of the analysis function. All of this information is passed on as the signal is processed by other analyses, providing complete traceability on every signal from acquisition to final result.

Report

ESP uses powerful Windows OLE technology to combine the graphical and analytical capabilities of DATS with the word processing and layout facilities of Microsoft Word to produce high quality reports that may be quckly and easily configured and edited.
This is not a simple “cut and paste” facility. OLE offers much more powerful object embedding to allow ESP graph editing to be done while still inside a Word document or similar.
