DataWave Technologies - Products - SciWorks Software

Data Acquisition (Analog Input)
-	Full support and control for up to 8 BioRadios simultaneously
-	Acquire different channels using different sampling rates and A/D gain factors
-	Calibrate data in terms of "user units" such as temperature, pressure, flow, etc.
-	Record both acquired and analyzed data to disk for off-line processing
-	All data items are timestamped to 1 microsecond resolution with a high resolution clock
-	Support for DataWave's VideoBench (Video Capture, Tracking and Monitoring)

Data Analysis
-	All Analysis can be performed while data is being acquired or from file playback
-	Detect and extract events based on software window discriminators
-	Extract key waveform parameters such as peak, valley, area, dV/dt, and many others
-	Flow/Volume Loop
-	Konno-Mead Plots
-	Waveform averaging
-	Event or spike triggered averaging
-	Digital filtering
-	Detect waveform bursts
-	Rate meters and rate gauges
-	Firing rate grids
-	Signal conditioning such as auto-baseline and waveform smoothing
-	Statistical calculations for waveform and single value data
-	Fourier Analysis including various power calculations
-	Sonograms and spectrograms
-	Acquire to a real time spreadsheet for custom analysis and reporting
-	Perform math operations defined by custom equations to operate on single value or array data (i.e. histograms or waveforms)
-	Curve fitting of single values

Data Display
-	All data can be displayed while data is being acquired or analyzed
-	Windows for displaying all types of data, including both acquired and analyzed
-	Windows can be zoomed, auto-scaled, and both x and y axes can be controlled independently
-	Extremely fast display options
-	Numerous window controls for controlling windows independently or as a group
-	Automatically hide, show and bring to top windows during experiment execution

Markers, Messaging and Data Annotation
-	An unlimited number of flags and trial information can be recorded simultaneously with data
-	Extensive updating capabilities of stimulus, counter, digital I/O in trial markers
-	Trial markers and messages recorded in data files provide extensive off-line analysis capabilities
-	Unique ability to assign identification (ID) information to different types of data
-	Interactive marker editing (insert, move, delete) provided post experiment using the SciWorks DataView components.

External Equipment Interfacing and Control
-	Interface for acquiring video with the DataWave's VideoBench (Video Capture, Tracking and Monitoring)
-	^*Interface for control of external hardware using TTL triggering and Digital IO

File Output and Data Replay
-	Write to or read from one or more files simultaneously during experimentation
-	High performance file format allows for multiple data types (including raw, analyzed and markers) to be saved to the same file
-	Multiple formats supported for both import and export (i.e. DDF, WorkBench, Discovery, ABF, CED, Neuralynx, Plexon, EDF, NEV and ASCII)
-	Data can be replayed from file just as it was acquired using slower, actual, or faster timing
-	Drag & Drop, Copy & Paste complete files or selected data for replay and analysis

Experimental Control, Execution and Timing
-	Multiple procedures can be executed simultaneously and independently of each other
-	Dynamically change experiment parameters while the experiment is executing
-	Conditional experiment execution based on experimental results and external equipment
-	Timers, counters and looping controls for automated experimentation

Custom User Interface
-	Design your own menus to use during real-time and file playback
-	Design your own dialogs to use both at real-time and file playback

Calibration
-	Work with calibrated and non-calibrated data in the same experiment
-	Both manual and automatic calibration techniques
-	Calibration information saved to data files for easy replay of data in calibrated format
-	Calibration settings can be stored in files and recalled for different types of experimentation

Timing Calibration
-	Timing calibration provides synchronization for all timing mechanisms
-	Timing calibration gaurantees high resolution timing for experiments lasting hours, days, weeks etc.
-	Automatic timing calibration methods simplify the calibration process
-	Timing calibrations can be stored on a "per device" basis

Experimental Design and User Interaction
-	Complex experimental protocol can be easily created using a combination of events and objects
-	Real-time logging of experiment protocols and execution
-	Design status warn when settings are incomplete or incorrect even before execution
-	Experiment protocols are easily defined with common defaults and intuitive settings
-	Unlimited number of experimental definitions can be created, saved and recalled at any time
-	Multithreaded and event driven execution for Windows XP and Windows 7
-	Experiment execution allows complete user interaction
-	Complete and thorough online help system, tutorials and samples make Experimenter easy to use
