Abstract
Content

WinPlot is a powerful desktop graphical analysis tool that allows the user to generate displays of unrestrictive amounts of data. It is designed to operate on a Windows 98/NT/2000 based desktop platform. WinPlot was developed to fulfill the need for fast and easily managed graphical displays of NASA test articles and facilities with extreme amount of test data in a desktop-computer environment. WinPlot features include seamless displays of real-time and post-test-time data with time and event synchronization of data from multiple sources. WinPlot also processes full scripting capability for automation of processes. Entire analysis procedures may be recorded and replayed with a single command. Users may record their actions within WinPlot or may write scripts using text editor. Scripts may also call and execute other scripts, providing even greater automation of tasks. WinPlot is also unique in its ability to plot large volumes of data on a desktop workstation. Up to 1,000 test data files may be opened simultaneously with plots generated containing up to 1,000 curves per plot. WinPlot also has extensive abilities in generation of “on-the-fly” calculations, reducing or eliminating the need for external programs to generate the data. Calculations may include a series of recorded parameters, constants, and math functions. WinPlot’s ability to export plots on a single mouse click can make easy work of preparing presentation material with office applications. One simply produces the plot with desired style and click of a button on the tool bar. Plots will be saved in a predefined folder with a sortable naming convention.
