The eZ-Analyst Series “view” programs make use of eZ-Analyst’s Playback Mode and, therefore, do not
require the presence of physical hardware. In fact, when eZ-Analyst is in Playback Mode, it is functioning
in the exact manner as eZ-FrequencyView. In other words, when in PlayBack Mode, eZ-Analyst is strictly
a post-acquisition display and analysis program.
Raw time-domain data, that has been recorded-to-disk, can be played back for analysis repeatedly. For
example, a raw signal could be played back several times, each time using a different filtering algorithm to
manipulate the original signal. Once the desired results have been achieved the new data can be exported in
a new format and to a different file. The original file can remain unchanged, and kept for future analysis.
The “view” programs make use of a Play Task Bar.
Note: WaveBook user’s who want to have post-data analysis view capabilities accessible from
WaveView’s button will need to install one of the “view” applications, i.e.,
eZ-PostView, eZ-TimeView, or eZ-FrequencyView. The latter two applications are available for
purchase. The eZ-PostView application is free.
eZ-FrequencyView
When you are using eZ-FrequencyView, you are essentially running eZ-Analyst in its Playback Mode.
The table on page 5-4 indicates the applicable features. You can not record data from eZ-FrequencyView.
eZ-FrequencyView is supported by the primary data acquisition programs, for example, DaqView,
LogView, and WaveView. It can be accessed through the primary application’s View Data button, or
accessed independently from your program files directory (where you installed your software).
The first time you run eZ-FrequencyView, you will need to enter an authorization code. The code is
supplied when the package is purchased.
eZ-TimeView
When you are using eZ-TimeView, you are essentially running eZ-Analyst in its Playback Mode, minus
several analysis features that are available in eZ-FrequencyView and eZ-Analyst. For example, when using
eZ-TimeView there are no Transfer Function Display Types, Complex Function Display Types, or FFT
Windows available. However, the application does provide calculation options pertaining to peak-to-peak,
mean, RMS, and does allow for data zooming. Refer to the table on page 5-4 for a complete list of the
applicable features. Note that you can not record data from eZ-TimeView.
eZ-TimeView is supported by the primary data acquisition programs, for example, DaqView, LogView,
and WaveView. It can be accessed through the primary application’s View Data button, or accessed
independently from your program files directory (where you installed your software).
The first time you run eZ-TimeView, you will need to enter an authorization code. The code is supplied
when the package is purchased.
eZ-PostView
eZ-PostView provides simple “time-domain” viewing. From this application you can display up to 8 time-
domain function windows and display up to 16 channel traces per window. Data is automatically scaled to
optimize its fit in the window. Window, channel trace, and cursor colors can be customized.
eZ-PostView is a free “view” program. The application has no Transfer Function Display Types, Complex
Function Display Types, or FFT Windows available. Refer to the table on page 5-4 for a complete list of
the applicable features. Note that you can not record data from eZ-PostView.
eZ-PostView is supported by the primary data acquisition programs, for example, DaqView, LogView, and
WaveView. It can be accessed through the primary application’s View Data button, or accessed
independently from your program files directory (where you installed your software).
You do not need to enter an authorization code to run eZ-PostView.
