Waveform Visualization Tool
LiveWire is a simple data analysis program for scientists and engineers who want to visualize and analyze large amounts of waveform data. It supports the importation and exportation of industry-standard data file formats, such as COMTRADE[1], EMTDC[2], and PTI (PSS/E). It also provides users with the ability to import and export general data formats such as comma-separated variable files (*.csv) and text files (*.txt). LiveWire even provides the means to generate data from user-defined equations and import/export data from other applications using the clipboard.
Applications
- Power quality
- View and study of logged process data
- Performance automotive
- Electro-magnetic/mechanical transients
- Control systems
- Signal analysis
- Economic projections
- Stock analysis
- Geological fault analysis
- Metallurgy (strain and stress analysis)
- Astronomy (background noise radiation analysis)
What kind of data can be imported?
LiveWire can import/export files that are compliant with the following industry standards:
- COMTRADE[1] – (IEEE industry standard for transient data exchange, power quality studies)
- EMTDC[2] – (PSCAD file format)
- PTI (PSS/E) – (Power Technologies Inc. PSS/E 25)
- Comma Separated Variable – (General format)
- Text and Tab Delimited – (General format)
Data can also be copied from any application complying with Microsoft Windows standards and pasted directly into LiveWire.
Simple to use.
LiveWire fills that need with a simple robust design. The workspace is a split window containing a “navigation tree” on the right and a “worksheet” on the left.
Z Systems has a 3-step approach to data analysis
Step 1
Import your data – Data will appear as a tree item on the navigation tree.
Step 2
Create your graph – Choose from any of the many graphs and place it anywhere on the worksheet.
Step 3
Insert your data into the graph – Copy the data from the navigation tree and paste it into the graph.
