A Look at eZ-Analyst

eZ-Analyst can only be installed as software support for ZonicBook
Medallion, ZonicBook/618E, and WaveBook devices. If your system is

making use of another type of data acquisition device you cannot install

eZ-Analyst. However, you can still install one of the “view” applications,
i.e., eZ-PostView
, eZ-TimeView, or eZ-FrequencyView.

eZ-Analyst is a graphical analysis application that can be used to collect, analyze, record, and
play back recorded data. Using ZonicBook or WaveBook hardware systems, ez-Analyst can

collect and display multiple channels of data in real-time. The graphical displays can consist
not only of the raw time-domain data, but also plots of frequency domain data. For example,

real time FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) plots.

Data that is recorded to disk-file is in the raw time domain and can be played back for
additional analysis time and time again. For example, a raw signal can be played back over-

and-over using different filtering algorithms to manipulate the signal. Once the desired results

have been achieved, the new data can be exported to a different file and format, while

preserving the original file. In addition, the playback capability does not require the presence
of a ZonicBook or WaveBook system.
