This novel software package is more than just a graphics program;
it transforms large columns of data into stunning visual displays.
QUICK FACTS
Tesoft, Inc. in Roswell Georgia uses PV-WAVE to analyze ASCII data
files generated from simulation programs. These large files are
imported, formatted and visualized quickly and easily by using the
Visual Data Analysis (VDA) applications of PV-WAVE.
THE PROBLEM
Personal computers, aided by Microsoft WindowsTM, continue their
inexorable assault on strongholds once solely the domain of workstations.
Further evidence of this course can be seen in the PV-WAVE software
tool from Visual Numerics. The powerful software package is a derivative
of the company's UNIX®-based package long used by scientists
and engineers on large workstation computers.
THE SOLUTION
PV-WAVE® is not merely another data-plotting package. The program's vigorous algorithms quickly sort through lengthy data files that
are cumbersome to analyze with conventional techniques. With an
optional statistics and mathematics toolkit program, users can select
from hundreds of operations to display, analyze and format two-,
three-, and four-dimensional output screens and files.
The software, which can be used in almost any scientific or technical  field, was developed expressly for visual data analysis (VDA) applications,
particularly in cases involving large volumes of data that may not
be understood clearly without the use of VDA. PV-WAVE works by translating
rows and columns of data into high-resolution black-and-white or
color plots according to user-defined parameters.
RETURN ON INVESTMENT
As an example, the time/domain-based system analysis and simulation
program TELSA from Tesoft, Inc. (Roswell, Ga.) was used to generate
an ASCII data file for analysis by PV-WAVE. The ASCII file, which
is typical of spreadsheet-style programs, consisted of rows and
columns of data: time versus sine and cosine responses for a phase
detector as a function of frequency. Each column consisted of 2
MB of data. All the columns were imported with user-defined labels.
The entire import/format process took place in less than 3 seconds.
