MI Technologies new MI-3000 Arena™ data
acquisition and analysis software package provides a user interface specially
designed to create productive work environments for antenna, radome, radar
cross-section and other microwave test and measurement applications. Marion Baggett, manager, applications and systems engineering at MI Technologies, said, "Arena’s test and measurement environments streamline measurement processes and allow for fast data acquisition, sensible data storage and easy reports. In addition, Arena makes quick work of repetitive tasks.
The MI-3000 Arena package offers four work environments:
Quick Pattern. The Quick Pattern environment lets users easily collect and plot data in a focused, straightforward manner. Users can easily define and store system setups for data collection and use these setups again and again. The Quick Pattern environment also provides a convenient link from its plot feature for optional data analysis.
Standard. For the user who needs full test and measurement capabilities at hand, the Standard environment provides easy access to all the features of the MI-3000. Seamlessly integrating collected data with a host of analysis functions and manipulation tools, the Standard environment provides data and reports with the fewest 'clicks' start to finish.
Tool Kit. The Tool Kit environment allows users to easily set up test and measurement processes for repeatability. Tool Kits can be set up to perform any repetitive task by simply 'dragging and dropping' the processes into a setup mode, naming it and, with one 'click,' letting it run.
Classic. The Classic environment offers users the convenience of working with their familiar displays with access to all of the MI-3000's features. In the Classic environment, users can perform their established data acquisition, analysis and test and measurement tasks without requiring new processes and training.
Software Options to build the Test System to Meet Your needs
The MI-3000's optional software modules, combined with the basic component software, give you the flexibility to meet a wide range of test and measurement requirements. Any of the optional processing packages can be added to any of the workstations.
Optional software modules include:
