Instruments

The following instruments are supported:

ClosedAbsolute Value Bar Chart

The Absolute Value Bar Chart provides a bar graph for one point in time showing for multiple signals the individual values and highlights a signal vlaue beyond user defined limits.

ClosedDelta Bar Chart

The Delta Bar Chart allows to visualize for multiple signals the differences of the individual signal values to the average value of all assigned signals for one point in time. Two auxiliary lines for the minimum resp. maximum values make the overview easier to read.

ClosedEvent List

In the event list, you can find certain events for analysis by evaluating a search condition. This instrument is recommended for:

  • Finding all time stamps at which the value of a signal changes
  • Displaying a complete list of EVENT entries from an MDF file, like calibration activities, pause events, or comments

ClosedGPS Map

The GPS tracks are displayed in a map view. This instrument is recommended for comparing and analyzing geographic data in relation to other measured signals.

ClosedHistogram

Graphical representation of the measured values of a signal over a definable period of time. This instrument is recommended for:

  • Graphical representation of the frequency distribution

ClosedOscilloscope

The measurement data are displayed as a graph. This instrument is recommended for:

  • Displaying numeric signals, especially periodic signals and signals with a large amplitude
  • Getting an overview of one or more signals over the complete time range of one or more measure files
  • Comparing two signals over time

ClosedScatter Plot

The values of two signals are displayed as distribution of data samples along the orthogonal value axes of the two signals. This instrument is recommended for:

  • Detecting a correlation of signals
  • Getting an overview of the sample distribution

ClosedSignal Distribution Chart

The Signal Distribution Chart allows to quickly see the distribution of the values of the individual signal for a given point in time.

ClosedSortable List

The Sortable List allows a quick evaluation of many comparable signals. It is suited for identifying at one point in time the signals with the highest or lowest deviation from the average value of all assigned signals.

ClosedStatistical Data

Statistical properties of numeric signals are displayed, such as the average, minimum, maximum and standard deviation. This instrument is recommended for:

  • Analyzing the statistical properties of signals, which can give insight into a signal's character and quality
  • Comparing multiple signals

ClosedTable

The measurement data are displayed in a table. This instrument can be used for:

  • Displaying non-numeric signals, as well as numeric signals
  • Inspecting the precise value of a signal for a specific time stamp

ClosedVideo

In the video instrument you can display the video file recorded with the INCA Video-Integration add-on. This instrument is recommended for combining a visual observation with the recorded measure data, especially for analyzing in a synchronized mode with other instruments.

To use the Video instrument, you need a valid license provided with the INCA Video-Integration add-on.
