catman®AP
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.
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 3.3: Functionality and usability
The latest catman®AP 3.3 version, too, convinces with new features and high usability. Benefit from numerous improvements and optimized processes. HBM's latest amplifier systems, for example QuantumX and espressoDAQ are, of course, also supported.
New features enhancing functionality and usability - when working with catman®AP 3.3:
- Rainflow counting - both in real time for monitoring and in analysis
