vSignalyzer: Efficiently Analyze Your Measured Data

Native support of:MDF 3.x, MDF 4.x, INCA dat, XLS, XLSX, MAT 7.3, and HDF5.

Support of large measurement files

Quick loading of measurement files

Fast responding preview to configure display window

Calculation of envelope curve complete

Windows stay accessible during background calculations.

Windows can be configured while data is still loaded from the file.

Additional operations can be executed in vSignalyzer, e.g. creatingmore display windows

Visualization

vSignalyzer: Efficiently Analyze Your Measured Data

drag & drop a signal to free space Choose window type for list of supported windows

Only windows supporting the datatype of the signal are suggested

8

Visualization

vSignalyzer: Efficiently Analyze Your Measured Data

vSignalyzer can display multimedia signals, for instance videos.

If the video was recorded with CANape or vMeasure it is automatically synchronized to other measurement signals

If video was recorded with other software you may have to explicitly shift it in time with respect to other measurement data (start time of measurement data and video may differ)

9

Visualization

vSignalyzer: Efficiently Analyze Your Measured Data

Display maps and tracks

Location synchronized to other measurement data

Choose between various map material sources:

Microsoft MapPoint

Shobunsha Super MappleX

Shobunsha Super MappleG

OpenStreetMap

Offline Maps

Support recordings in the formats:

MDF

LOG

UBX

GPSLOG

NMEA

Visualization

vSignalyzer: Efficiently Analyze Your Measured Data

Thermodynamic state charts based on the material library TILMedia for TLK-Thermo GmbH

Various chart types available: Pressure- enthalpy (pH)

Pressure- specific volume (pV)

Pressure- temperature (pT)

Temperature- enthalpy (TH)

Temperature- entropy (TS)

Printing and Reporting

vSignalyzer: Efficiently Analyze Your Measured Data

Drag and drop of windows or the complete page directly into office documents (like PowerPoint and Word) or to the desktop ...

Available export formats:

emf, png, jpg, gif, and bmp

Drag and drop, colors are changed automatically

Calculation

vSignalyzer: Efficiently Analyze Your Measured Data

Library functions

Algebraic expression

Write your own functions with integrated scripting language (CASL).

Create your own DLLs or Matlab/Simulink models and include them into your analysis

16

Calculation

vSignalyzer: Efficiently Analyze Your Measured Data

Compute calculation of signals with different sampling rates

User can set the time raster of the calculated signals the way he wants: based on one of the raster of one of the input signals, of all input signal, or based on a fixed given time raster

No need to manually calculate intermediate values for the input signals for the same time stamp

Only actual measured values are used for calculation

Calculated signal (blue) has values for

all time stamp of both input signals (red and yellow).

18

Automatization

vSignalyzer: Efficiently Analyze Your Measured Data

vSignalyzer can be automated using scripts

Some examples for scripting in vSignalyzer:

Accumulate data over a set of file

Repeat an analysis for all files in a directory

Create a PDF report after the analysis has finished

Split measurement files

Repeat an analysis with different parameters

Initialize variables with starting of project

…

Almost all user-interaction with vSignalyzer can be automatized!

Data Mining

vSignalyzer: Efficiently Analyze Your Measured Data

Measureddata

Hits

C-Functions and Simulink Models

vSignalyzer

Motivation: Finding the needle in the hay

Looking for a certain event in recorded data

Scan through a vast amount of data files

Most data don’t hold this event

Example: find all event where shifting gears took place while the engine revolution was faster than 3300 rpm.

Solution: Data Mining with vSignalyzer

Automatic analysis of many data files (MDF, BLF, …)

Efficient analysis of the data

Identification of “hits”

Direct access to each hit

Generation of a report

22

Conclusion

vSignalyzer: Efficiently Analyze Your Measured Data

Time for a live demonstration

With vSignalyzer you can easily visualize your measurement data

vSignalyzer provides a variety of visualization windows to best suit you needs

The inbuild methods of vSignalyzer allow you to compute even complex and demanding analysis. And if the inbuild methods do not fulfill your needs you may increase the feature scope with your own scripts and functions, external DLLs, and Matlab/Simulink models.

Data Mining allows you to analyze all your recorded data with a single call of you program

The analysis can be automatized

Powerful and easy to use printing and reporting features
