DATS Automation

DATS includes different methods of working...– Visual Scripts

Created interactively from the DATS interface



DATS Automation



Visual Scripting– Uses ‘Dats Processing Units’ (DPU’s)

advanced data processing and interactivity.– Power of flow-charting

save your standard tests

DATS Automation



DATS Automation

DATS includes different methods of working...– Basic Scripts

Written using a variant of Visual Basic Supports variables, loops, OLE Automation, dialogs and so on User input forms



User Input Forms



Results Form



DATS Customisation

Visual Scripts– Repeated tests– Production line testing

Basic Scripts– Custom & turnkey applications– Complex production line testing

Add your Own Analysis Modules– Written

Microsoft Visual C/C++



DATS Data Structure

DATS Data Storage– Single disk file (with multiple signals)– Open and published format– Upwardly compatible (30 year old data can still be used)– Comprehensive

Data Project Information User variables History Information



DATS Named Elements

Named Elements– Supplementary information stored with data– Project Information

Automatically stored with data– Analysis History

All analysis steps stored with data

– For example• Speed = 45• Engineer = J Smith

Signal 1

Signal 2

Dataset



DATS Reports

Intaglio– Produces automatic custom reports using Microsoft Word– Automatic report sequences are written using a built-in

“point & click” editor– Adds DATS graphs– Adds Named elements– Reproducible, high quality reports– Create a “draft” (template) once and produce unlimited

reports

– Integration Support for OLE 2.0 compatible programs Removes the need to “cut and paste”



DATS Reports

Intaglio– Edit ‘Live’ Graphs – ‘One Click’ reports



DATS for Windows

DATS Data Viewer– Standalone viewer for DATS datasets

View time history, FFT, waterfalls and many others– OLE Object

Allows non-DATS users to view and activate graphs in DATS and Intaglio reports

– Downloadable free from Prosig website



DATS for Windows

Data Catalog– Watches disk for new or altered datasets

User chooses which folders/disks to watch Complete scan available for initial load

– Maintains database of all Named Element values– Complex searches using SQL type syntax on NEs– Information stored in standard SQL database

Power users can use database independently of DATS



DATS for Windows

Data Catalog– Example…

Find all audio signals (units of Pa) for vehicle “Kestrel” since 23rd November 2005
