DADiSP 6.9 B01 Features

DADiSP 6.9 includes a number of exciting new features and enhancements. The majority of these changes and improvements are the direct result of customer requests and interaction.

Parallel Processing

Numerous data analysis and signal processing functions have been meticulously optimized to leverage modern parallel processing techniques, capitalizing on today's multi-core processors. These enhancements have yielded impressive speed improvements, ranging from a modest 10% boost to an astonishing 30 times faster performance compared to previous versions. The optimized routines span various critical areas, including real and complex mathematics, data generation, sorting, Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), and matrix manipulation.

64-bit Series Addressing

Series and arrays are addressed with 64-bit indices to support data sizes up to 9 exa-samples (9e18 points) per column subject to operating system limitations. Optimized virtual series enable transparent and efficient processing of series much larger than available system RAM with no changes to user defined analysis algorithms.

Refreshed User Interface

DADiSP 6.9 offers a clean and simple GUI that provides as many features as possible without undue complexity. Interface changes are implemented as enhancements to the tried and true traditional DADiSP GUI allowing existing users to operate without disruption to the established workflow.

Modern Color Scheme

DADiSP 6.9 introduces a modern color palette for windows and data series, enhancing plot clarity and aesthetics. Nine new series colors replace the old blue, green and red primary colors. Previous worksheets that employ the old primary colors are automatically updated to the new scheme. Diverse new colormaps are available for image, contour, and surface plots. DADiSP 6.9 also supports the popular dark mode for a more comfortable viewing experience.

Python Connectivity

The included PyLink Module runs Python programs directly from DADiSP and exchanges data between DADiSP and Python. Both built-in and custom Python functions or scripts are executed just as if they were native DADiSP functions. Arrays, scalar and string data are exchanged transparently in fast binary format using the ActiveX Automation interfaces of DADiSP and Python.

Also included is PyDADiSP, a pure Python Module that allows Python to call DADiSP functions and exchange data between Python and DADiSP.

Native Copy and Paste

Clipboard Copy and Paste support native binary series format to preserve series attributes when copying and pasting within DADiSP or between multiple DADiSPs.

Table View Editing

Tabular views of big series and arrays support standard mouse based copy and paste operations. Individual regions and entire rows or columns can be selected for copy, delete, insert and paste operations. Select the region of interest with the mouse, then right click to specify the desired operation. Combined with native copy and paste, GUI based data editing of big data is simple and familiar.

UTF8 Unicode Text Support

The default internal string encoding is UTF-8 providing international language and symbol support. International text can be manipulated and lexicographically sorted just like plain ASCII text. Multilingual strings can be used anywhere ASCII strings are used, including macro, variable, function, series, dataset and Worksheet names.

High DPI Support

DADiSP automatically supports Standard Definition through Ultra High Definition monitors resulting in high resolution screen display of both data and text.

Expanded Image Support

Loading and saving of PNG, JPG, BMP, TIFF, GIF, WMP, and ICO images is supported along with general purpose Alpha transparency manipulation. Very large images or images of unusual sizes are automatically tiled for rapid and accurate display. Tiled images are particularly helpful for visualizing large joint time-frequency plots (i.e. spectrograms).

UTC Date Time

Coordinated Universal Time is supported. UTC time is the basis for civil time worldwide. Date time arithmetic, time zone operations and conversions are easily performed.

Enhanced SPL

SPL has been improved with optional function argument initialization, try-catch error trapping, static functions, named argument assignments, short circuit conditionals, logical array addressing and non-local variables (useful for processing custom dialogs).

File Linking

External File Linking enables direct access to external data files for processing without data duplication. Currently TDMS files are supported with the optional TDMS Module.
