• Flexible Deployment » Embedded directly into the main TranAX design layout » Opened as a dialog window, either through a Formula or via the Measurement Flow Control (MFC) system. Designer -Custom User Interfaces The Designer introduces a new level of flexibility in TranAX by enabling the creation of customized graphical user interfaces directly within the software. It is especially suited for test automation, guided user interactions, and tailored application workflows. • Formula Editor Integration The Designer is programmed using the Formula Editor, allowing full access to the mathematical...

The Experiment Explorer replaces the former Signal Source Browser. It lists all stored and calculated signals as well as results in a clear structure. A particularly practical feature: signal sources can be seamlessly switched between live hardware and file replay. This allows users to quickly compare measurements and organize experiments efficiently. Post-Processing in the Experiment Explorer With TranAX® 4.5, the new Experiment Explorer not only manages signals and results, but also introduces flexible post-processing capabilities. Users can now apply processing functions directly to any data...

The Control Panel in TranAX serves as the central interface for configuring measurement hardware and adapting acquisition settings to the specific requirements of each test. It provides direct access to all essential setup parameters while maintaining an application-oriented workflow. Configuration Capabilities• Input Range per Channel Each acquisition channel can be configured with an appropriate input range to match the expected signal amplitude. This ensures maximum resolution and prevents saturation, providing accurate and reliable measurements across different signal levels. • Input Coupling...

The Formula Editor in TranAX is a robust scripting and computational environment embedded directly in the measurement workflow. It's designed to give engineers and researchers advanced analytic control — without needing a separate programming tool. Key Capabilities• Rich Function Library Offers more than 60 mathematical and programming functions, including arithmetic, trigonometric, array operations, cursor/ time functions, filtering, and spectrum analysis • Modern Coding Features Supports syntax highlighting, adjustable font size, auto-completion, and comment support. The editor enables cleaner,...

The Measurement Flow Control (MFC) in TranAX provides a powerful framework for building automated measurement workflows. It allows the user to define and execute sequences of tasks that control the entire measurement process, from setup to data analysis and reporting. Workflows consist of sequential tasks such as starting a measurement, saving data, performing calculations, or switching layouts and hardware configurations. Tasks can include delays, launching external applications, adding comments, automatic file naming, and triggering user prompts. The MFC interacts seamlessly with the Formula...

TranAX supports the integration of external video recordings with measurement data to provide a comprehensive view of test scenarios. The user can open video files after a measurement and align them precisely with the acquired signal data. Synchronization between the video and measurement signals is achieved through hardware triggers and the SyncClock Out signal of the TPCE measurement card. This ensures that both video frames and signal data share a common time reference. By using hardware synchronization, events captured in the video can be directly correlated with corresponding signal behavior...

The Documentation Window in TranAX allows the user to design professional reports directly within the software, without relying on external tools. The user can place waveform displays, scalar tables, images, text, and shapes freely on a page (A4/A3, portrait or landscape) and create customized report layouts. He can define headers and footers with logos, text, or images and apply them automatically to all pages, ensuring a consistent and professional appearance. The documentation window updates dynamically. When the underlying data changes, the report content refreshes instantly, and the printed...

A spectrogram provides a time-frequency representation of signals and is available as a visualization and analysis tool in TranAX. Unlike a standard FFT, which shows frequency content at a single moment in time or over the entire acquisition, a spectrogram displays how the frequency spectrum evolves over time. • Analysis of Non-Stationary Signals Spectrograms are especially useful when signal properties change dynamically. For example, they help reveal how frequencies vary during transient events or complex processes. • Detection of Harmonics and Distortions By observing frequency content over...
