FlexPro is a scientific-technical data analysis and presentation software from Weisang GmbH. It runs under Microsoft Windows and is available in German, English, French, Japanese and Chinese. FlexPro has its roots in testing and measurement and supports various file formats for measurement devices and data acquisition software. FlexPro can analyze large amounts of data at high sampling rates.

Functionalities

FlexPro is a data analysis and presentation software. All data, analyzes and presentations are stored in an object database. The structure of the database is similar to that of a hard disk file system. A folder hierarchy can be set up in FlexPro to organize the analysis. A complete FlexPro database can be saved in a single file, the size of which is only limited by the available storage space and not by the computer's main memory. The FlexPro user interface is based on Microsoft Office Ribbon technology.

FlexPro offers wizards for creating various 2D and 3D graphics as well as tables for data presentation. Curves, symbols, bars and error areas can be displayed in both Cartesian and polar representation in 2D diagrams. In addition, 3D diagrams allow the display of surfaces, contour plots, waterfall diagrams, space curves and bar graphs. FlexPro also supports media objects (video format) and enables multi-page documents to be created directly in the project database.

FlexPro has an integrated FPScript programming language that is optimized for data analysis and supports direct operations on non-scalar objects such as vectors and matrices as well as composite data structures such as signals, signal series or surfaces. All operations can be carried out interactively (via menus or dialog boxes) or program-controlled. The programming takes place via (OLE) automation object model and the integrated Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications development environment (VBA).

FlexPro project database

The data can be analyzed graphically using cursors in 2D or 3D graphics or mathematically using analysis objects or FPScript formulas. The underlying algorithm of an analysis object can be set using a property sheet. Raw data, analysis objects and presentation objects such as diagrams, tables and documents form a dynamic network that can be updated after new data has been imported. FlexPro supports signal analysis in the time and frequency domain, spectral analysis, order analysis, linear and non-linear curve fitting, descriptive and inductive statistics, event isolation, acoustics, digital (FIR and IIR) filters and counting methods (e.g. rainflow classification).

FlexPro not only performs calculations with numbers, but also with physical quantities together with a unit. In addition to SI units, FlexPro also supports common non-SI units such as Gauss and US units.

FlexPro can export graphics and documents in a number of file formats such as HTML , JPEG , PNG and WMF .

The FlexPro Data Explorer indexes data archives on hard drives or servers. Configurable data queries can be used to search for characteristic values ​​or other attributes in order to find the data records to be analyzed. It is also possible to configure your own calculations during the indexing process that can be used for later analysis of the data.

FlexPro supports various file formats for the import (standard formats and formats specific to measuring devices and data acquisition software), such as. B. Text and CSV data, Excel tables, multimedia files, wave files, ODBC data sources, Matlab (.mat), National Instruments (.tdm, .tdms), ASAM ODS and ASAM COMMON MDF4, IMC Famos , NASA-CDF, Dewetron, DEWESoft, Graphtec, Hioki, IMC, Nicolet / Gould, OROS, SEFRAM, Viper, TEAC, Sony, Tektronik, Powermeter, Catman, Caesar, Imtec, Stemmer, Yokogawa, SPSS, LabView, Diadem, TurboLab , Systat, TableCurve.
