Parallel computations, 64-bit array addressing, Python support and an updated GUI simplify complex data analysis.

Newton, MA May 15, 2023

DSP Development Corporation announces DADiSP 6.9, the newest release of the engineering spreadsheet designed specifically for technical data analysis.

DADiSP 6.9 adds parallel support to many fundamental data analysis and signal processing routines to take advantage of today's multi-core CPUs. Speed improvements of 10% up to 30x faster than previous versions have been achieved. Improvements cover a wide range of functions including real and complex math, data generation, sorting, FFT and matrix manipulation.

Series and arrays are addressed with 64-bit indices to support tera-byte data sizes 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.

The included PyLink Module runs Python programs directly from DADiSP with automatic data exchange between DADiSP and Python. Both built-in and custom Python functions or scripts are executed just as if they were native DADiSP functions.

DADiSP 6.9 defaults to UTF-8 for internal Unicode string encoding 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.

DADiSP 6.9 extends DADiSP's Series Processing Language to support modern programming constructs such as optional function argument initialization, try-catch error trapping, static functions, named argument assignments, short circuit conditionals, logical array addressing and non-local variables. SPL's C/C++ syntax offers a familiar programming style allowing users to create custom routines using well understood programming techniques.

DADiSP 6.9 also adds an updated clean and simple GUI with a contemporary color scheme and high DPI monitor support to provide as many features as possible without undue complexity. Interface changes are implemented as enhancements to the tried and true traditional DADiSP 6.9 GUI allowing existing users to operate without disruption to the established workflow.

"DADiSP 6.9 offers thousands of state of the art analysis routines with an intuitive and familiar user interface to provide one of the most comprehensive data analysis tools available today," said Randy Race, DSP's Chief Technical Officer. "DADiSP is used by tens of thousands of scientists and engineers worldwide as a high productivity alternative to traditional spreadsheet and text based programming."

DADiSP 6.9 for Windows is priced at $1995.00 and includes 90 days of technical support. DADiSP 6.9 is now available for general release.

A free DADiSP Worksheet Browser and 15 Day Full Product License is available at www.dadisp.com
