catman®AP
The complete and convenient data acquisition software
Benefit from the new generation of data acquisition software. catman®AP bundles highly efficient modules for many different measurement tasks. Each module is a champion in its specific field of application. The modules in combination provide a flexible, powerful, and networked high-performance package – catman®AP.
The basis: catman®Easy – Measurement made easy.
catman®Easy makes measuring and analyzing your data very easy. Thanks to an intuitive user interface only a few mouse clicks are required to start measurement. Simply configure the amplifier using TEDS, the transducer electronic data sheet, or the upgradeable sensor database – and off you go. Many options for graphical data analysis and versatile export options make catman®Easy a reliable and indispensable tool for every measurement technician.
All inclusive… catman®AP modules professionally support your measurement tasks
EasyMath add-on module for mathematical evaluation of your data: Calculate the statements “behind” the test values. Many measurement tasks require data analysis based on mathematical methods. The EasyMath add-on module for catman®AP performs many different mathematical analyses for you. The results can be easily printed out, visualized, and exported.
catman®AP adapts to your individual measurement task – and facilitates your daily work. Use the AutoSequence add-on module for automating repetitive measurement or analysis steps by simply putting functional blocs into sequence. You save a lot of time, specifically with periodic measurements involving unvarying analysis steps or with the automation of functionality tests.
Use the EasyScript add-on module for catman®AP to create your own scripts for individual measurement tasks, for example, to develop specific measurement or analysis steps yourself and thus integrate your own new functions into catman®AP. EasyScript is based on the established Microsoft VBA standard. Reliable and comfortable, even "offline".
Use the EasyLog add-on module for catman®AP to autonomously record your measurement data on PC card or hard disk (in combination with MGCplus amplifiers).
The EasyPlan add-on module for offline parameterization enables you to easily configure your amplifier in advance without the need for connection to a PC.
Version 3.0 provides many new features
