HiQ Analysis, Visualization, and Report Generation

Transcription

1 Visually Organize Your Analysis Projects in an Interactive Notebook is an interactive problem-solving environment where you analyze, visualize, and document real-world science and engineering problems. solves real-world problems using a notebook methodology that combines interactive analysis, data visualization, and report generation in a single, intuitive environment. Using the interactive tools of, you can create data objects, analysis, and graphs that you can move, rotate, and customize to bring out the important points in your data. And, when you are finished, you have a complete, interactive technical document to share your results with others. The Notebook Within a notebook, you can organize all the phases of your analysis project. You can create objects that represent data, 2D and 3D graphs, text, annotations, embedded ActiveX/object linking and embedding (OLE) objects, and -Script on the notebook page. Each object also has its own interactive properties. For example, the Matrix object operates like a spreadsheet where you can input and manipulate scalar, vector, and matrix data. In the 3D Graph properties page, you can interactively change the viewpoint, shading, color, size, and other graph attributes. In the -Script object, you can create, compile, and run your own programs. Your completed Notebook serves as an interactive document for your project that you can print to produce a high-quality technical report. Designing a Notebook With, you can create your technical report as you perform your analysis, together in a single document. You create your notebook, import your data, and create 2D and 3D graph objects interactively without writing any programming code. To make your custom Notebook interactive, you place objects on the Notebook. To run a program, you select Run on a - Script object. You can even add pages and sections to your notebook to build larger, even more sophisticated applications. ActiveMath for Microsoft Office Creating your technical analysis report in is easy using the ActiveX (OLE) technology available under Windows NT/95. While creating your Notebook, you can embed other ActiveX objects and controls, such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Paintbrush to make your technical calculations, presentations, and reports more informative and intuitive. These embedded objects are active components that you can control and edit directly within the environment. You can even embed your notebooks into Word and Excel to add advanced analysis and data visualization to your Office documents. You can also automate your analysis using the OLE Automation interface. Using OLE Automation, you can control other applications programmatically from within the environment or control from other ActiveX applications. With ActiveX in, you can use the power of other software tools you already own. 145

2 Explorer The Explorer interface organizes your work by giving you access to all notebooks, data objects, and functions right at your fingertips. You can use the Explorer to navigate through your notebook and interactively drag and drop items directly onto your notebook page. Command Line The command line gives you the power to achieve fast, immediate results. Within this window, you can evaluate numerical expressions, run script programs, and even create your own functions and programs using the powerful -Script programming language. For Matlab 5.0 users, this command window also gives you 100 percent compatibility to run your Matlab M-files directly from the command line interface. You do not need to rewrite all of your existing Matlab code to enjoy the powerful benefits of the analysis environment. Report Generation Produce a complete report by adding introductions, figures, equations, explanations, and conclusions to your technical document. Embed Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other documents directly into your notebook. Create your technical report as you perform your analysis. Print your report to produce a high-quality, hard copy document. -Script Create your own functions and programs using the - Script language. Use hundreds of built-in math, data visualization, and utility functions. Data Visualization Visualize your data using interactive 2D and 3D graphs. Interact with your data directly using features such as panning, zooming, and rotating. Data Import/Export Wizard Using the Import/Export Wizard, you can interactively load and save data sets of any size! Load your data into no matter what format. The Wizard guides you step-by-step through the importing process with no programming. analyzes and previews your data before importing, so you can be sure that your data is imported correctly. Using the Data Export Wizard, you can export data to your preferred format. You can also add your own custom import and export formats to the wizards. 146

3 3D Surface Plot Color Mapping and Rotation Transparency Visually Analyze Data The advanced 2D and 3D visualization tools in give you insight into your data. You can generate 2D and 3D graphs from both data and functions and immediately visualize the results. The OpenGL graphics engine delivers workstationquality graphics and performance so you can be more creative and productive. With a 3D Graph, you can interactively rotate to see any viewpoint, set the lighting position and intensity, and zoom in or out. You can shade a 3D surface and make it transparent. In addition, you can create contour plots, projections to any plane, and wire-frame surfaces. You can perform all of these operations interactively with built-in property pages or programmatically from -Script. 2D Graph Features Cartesian and polar coordinates Parametric plots Linear and log scale Configurable axes Point, line, and bar plots Animation Legends Multiple Y axes Lighting and Zooming 3D Graph Features Advanced OpenGL graphics Cartesian, polar, and cylindrical coordinates Point, line, surface, and parametric plots Panning, zooming, and rotating Orthographic and perspective viewing Axes scales and labels Animation Transparency Color maps Legends Configurable axes Lighting Plane projections Contour plots Contouring and Plane Projection 147

4 Tap the Power of Analysis and Data Visualization Functions There is more to numerical analysis than just answers you need fast and accurate results you can trust. In the built-in functions, error tolerances are easily specified to provide solutions that converge fast and accurately. The error tolerances are constantly checked, so if you only need six decimal points of accuracy, the built-in functions solve for just that level of accuracy. The libraries give you the tools to develop applications in areas ranging from linear algebra to ordinary differential equations.

Advanced Data Visualization for Windows uses the industry-standard OpenGL graphics library from Microsoft to provide advanced data visualization capabilities optimized for math, science, and engineering applications. You can customize your graphs interactively and use -Script to change the graph features programmatically. Use the Power of Your Existing Applications Using ActiveX automation, you can automatically control from LabVIEW, Microsoft Office (e.g. Excel and Word), or Visual Basic to perform analysis, visualization, or generate reports. You can also control these applications from directly. For example, you can interactively select data in an Excel worksheet, then run a script in that automatically extracts the data and creates a 2D or 3D graph and performs some analysis. As an ActiveX container, you can embed other ActiveX objects, such as a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint document, making your technical calculations, presentations, and reports more informative and intuitive. Or, you can choose to embed a Notebook into a Word document to add powerful 3D visualization. You can even embed ActiveX controls, such as ComponentWorks, into your Notebook to automatically extend the capabilities of with data acquisition.
