How catman®Easy Simplifies Measurement and Analysis

Making measurements and analyzing data are simple with catman®Easy. Its intuitive user interface lets you start measuring with just a few mouse-clicks. Simply configure the amplifier using TEDS (the transducer electronic data sheet) or the upgradeable sensor database, and you will be ready to go. Because it offers lots of options for graphical data analysis and versatile export options, catman®Easy is a reliable and indispensable tool for every measurement technician.

All-inclusive catman®AP Modules Provide Professional Support for Measurement Tasks

Calculate the statements “behind” the test values with the EasyMath add-on module for mathematical evaluation of your data. Many measurement tasks require data analysis based on mathematical methods. The EasyMath add-on module performs many different mathematical analyses for you, so you can easily print, visualize, and export your results.

Do you need a package that adapts to your individual measurement tasks and facilitates your daily work? Let the AutoSequence add-on module automate repetitive measurement or analysis steps by simply putting functional blocks into sequence. You will save a lot of time, particularly with periodic measurements involving unchanging analysis steps or when automating functionality tests.

Use the EasyScript add-on module for catman®AP to create your own scripts for individual measurement tasks, such as developing specific measurement or analysis steps yourself , then integrating your new functions into catman®AP. EasyScript is based on the established Microsoft VBA standard.

Record data reliably and easily, even "offline”. Use the EasyLog add-on module for catman®AP to record your measurement data autonomously on a PC card or hard disk (in combination with MGCplus amplifiers).

The EasyPlan add-on module for offline parameterization lets you configure your amplifier in advance without the need for a connection to a PC.
