MI-3000 Version 3.2 Plotting Package Brings Measurement Data to Life!

ATLANTA: MI Technologies’ new Version 3.2 of its MI-3000 Data Acquisition and Analysis Software includes an enhanced plotting package. The new plotting program offers eight new features to better illustrate test and measurement results with improved, speed, color and detail. The MI-3000 software is the system control software at the core of MI Technologies’ MI-2097 Automated Microwave Measurement System.

Marion Baggett, manager of software engineering at MI Technologies, said “The new plotting program in V3.2 produces the same test and measurement plot types MI customers have come to rely on: rectangular, polar, color fill contour, and isometric, but its new features enhance plot performance in a number of ways which will help improve test and measurement productivity.”

The new features include:

A new user interface that has been completely revised for easier plot configuration.
A ‘rubber band’ zoom function for rectangular plot types, allowing the user to zoom in on selected regions of the plot.
Marker symbols are improved, markers are supported for 3D plots and marker comparison is now supported.
A dynamic cross hair function for rectangular, polar, contour, color fill, color fill/contour and isometric plot types.
For 3D plot types, a second plot window can be created to show a 2D plot in another plot window at a selected location along the 3D plot’s X or Y dimension. The user can then “walk” through that dimension of the 3D plot.
Plot setups may be started automatically at the completion of an acquisition if desired.
Additional plot export formats have been added including bmp, jpeg and enhanced metafile formats.
In order to maintain backward compatibility of existing plot definitions for Version 3.10 and earlier, the previous version of the plotting software is still supported in Version 3.2.

“This new version of our MI-3000 data acquisition and analysis software also includes a number of other new features and upgrades including a manual scan acquisition mode, a time-based acquisition mode, Ethernet interface capability for command and control of selected instruments, new drivers and other enhancements to simplify and enhance the test and measurement process,” Baggett added.

“The MI-3000 software package offers true value for today’s complex test and measurement applications.”
