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.
