Applications

MDA (Measure Data Analyzer) is used to visualize and analyze measurement data provided in MDF or ASCII format. For these purposes MDA provides a graphical (YT- and XY-oscilloscope), a tabular and a statistical view.

The user can customize layout and content of these views. MDA provides many useful functions such as zooming, scrolling, synchronizing different views, or searching for specific events. For special purposes, MDA provides an interface to define, calculate, visualize, and analyze signals, events, and bits.

For documentation and presentation purposes, MDA offers to print out views according to user defined templates and to export measurement data files in MDF or ASCII format.
