jBEAM is a flexible software for measurement data acquisition, processing, analysis, visualization and the creation of reports of measurement data. These can be edited both online and offline. The main focus is on the processing of measurement data in distributed work processes. A basic requirement for this is availability for different operating systems such as Windows (32 bit and 64 bit), Linux (64 bit) and Mac OSX (64 bit). It can be used as a desktop application, as an interactive web application and as an individually expandable class library.
history
jBEAM was developed from the BEAM software. The software has been developed and distributed since 1999 by the company AMS Gesellschaft für angewandte Mess- und Systemtechnik mbH from Chemnitz / Saxony . The name jBEAM is an acronym and stands for j avabasierende b edienergeführte E rfassung and A uswertung of M essdaten.
BEAM was the world's first user program with graphic window technology for the acquisition and evaluation of measurement data and was launched in 1988 as a Macintosh version by Hottinger Baldwin Messtechnik (HBM), Darmstadt. When AMS GmbH was founded in 1993, HBM took over the development and sale of the BEAM data acquisition software. Porting to the Windows system took place in 1996. In 1998, AMS GmbH began developing Java-based evaluation software. Version 1.0 of jBEAM was launched on September 14, 1998. In 2003 jBEAM becomes the first ASAM-CEA standardized system for evaluating measurement data. Since 2007, jBEAM has been used by the three largest German automobile manufacturers as software in various areas of data analysis. Since 2008 it has served as standard software for the control and evaluation of transmission test benches at the world's leading provider of drive technology.
Functions
As a Java program, jBEAM is independent of the operating system. The processing of more than 1 billion values is not a problem. JBEAM recognizes and imports over 150 file formats, including audio and video data, which can then be played and analyzed synchronously with the numerical data.
As a framework, jBEAM can be adapted to specific applications. The user or system integrator can expand the functionality by means of an integrated script language as well as with the help of plug-ins (ASAM-CEA-compatible components).
According to the manufacturer's information, jBEAM is characterized by fast data processing. The user interface is multilingual. The languages German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Chinese, Arabic and Czech are offered.
jBEAM in MDM systems
jBEAM is designed for use in distributed work processes and can therefore be integrated into measurement data management systems. AMS's own MaDaM or MDM systems from third-party providers can be used.
jBEAM cluster
With the help of the jBEAM cluster technology, analyzes of large amounts of data can be parallelized. The evaluations are created using calculation components in a jBEAM and carried out in the jBEAM cluster with several jBEAMs in parallel. The simultaneous evaluation of measurement data can benefit from multi-core processors as well as from several computers in a cluster. The partial results determined are aggregated to a global result and can then be further evaluated using data mining methods , for example . These are optionally available in jBEAM.
The Measurement-data Distributed File System (MDFS), manufactured by AMS GmbH from Chemnitz / Saxony, processes large amounts of measurement data. The distributed file system for big test data consists of several nodes. Each node usually has a combination of CPU and memory unit. The transmission of large amounts of data over shared networks is unnecessary in the jBEAM cluster with MDFS. The calculations are carried out where the data is already located.
jBEAM Cluster can be integrated into the MaDaM measurement data management system .
commitment
jBEAM is mainly used in research and development both in industry and at universities. Especially in the R&D departments of large automobile manufacturers (GM, VW , Audi , BMW , Daimler ), jBEAM is used for crash tests , engine tests, driving tests and component tests. jBEAM is designed for all applications in which measurement data must be analyzed and visualized; so z. B. in motorsport and high-performance sports , with test stands and tablet presses, with process data visualization (consumption recording), for the evaluation and visualization of GPS-logged tours, of biometric data, of PC performance data and of data logs in the tuning area.
Obtaining the software
The jBEAM software is protected by copyright. A license is issued by the manufacturer. The use of jBEAM is free of charge for school and student use in the area of research and teaching.
