PV-WAVE Foundation
The cornerstone of PV-WAVE Foundation is its interactive programming language. PV‑WAVE’s array-oriented and highly developed 4GL reduces coding requirements up to 80% and eliminates the need for compiling and linking. It supports variables and collections of variables. Its powerful functionality includes global variables, an event-driven interpreter, resource file support, and dialog box alerts to make your programming more efficient.
PV-WAVE Foundation features:
Industry standard I/O
Robust graphing capabilities
Flexible data management functions
Backwards compatibility
Cross-platform compatibility
VDA Tools and Navigator
The VDA Tools and Navigator are an interactive environment for efficient visual data analysis and rapid application development. They consist of multiple high-level application components, called VDA Tools, and a pre-developed GUI called the Navigator.
VDA Tools provide the developer with a powerful modular framework to easily customize applications. VDA Tools allow you to perform specific functions such as generating plots, images, and contours, importing and exporting data, creating tables, generating code, and many other common procedures in an easy-to-use interactive environment. VDA Tools can also be pieced together to quickly create sophisticated, custom interfaces.
The Navigator is an intuitive interface that provides quick, individual access to the VDA Tools. Built entirely from VDA Tools, the Navigator can also be customized and extended for specific application requirements.
PV-WAVE IMSL Mathematics
PV‑WAVE IMSL Mathematics provides mathematical routines that save implementation time and provide accurate results. The mathematics libraries contain a full range of capabilities, with subroutines for engineering and scientific disciplines, and other fields requiring accurate, reliable mathematical computation.
The capabilities of PV‑WAVE IMSL Mathematics include:
linear systems
differential equations
optimization
transforms
interpolation and approximation
eigen systems analysis
quadrature
Bessel functions
nonlinear equations
PV-WAVE IMSL Statistics
PV‑WAVE IMSL Statistics routines reduce development time, save development expense and allow you to build applications that are portable across multiple platforms. The statistics routines provide versatility in handling missing values, evaluating various data types and quantities, and generating printed results.
Some of the calculations performed using PV‑WAVE IMSL Statistics routines include:
basic statistics
factor and cluster analysis
regression
tests of goodness-of-fit
correlation and covariance
cluster analysis
nonparametric statistics
time series and forecasting
multivariate analysis
analysis of variance and designed experiements
categorical and discrete data analysis
survival analysis
probability distribution functions and inverses
random number generator
neural networks
Together, PV-WAVE IMSL Mathematics and PV-WAVE IMSL Statistics provide the utmost in numerical functionality and power because they:
are built upon the most widely used routines in the IMSL Numerical Libraries.
include extensive online documentation with powerful search capabilities.
include prepackaged functions that reduce application development.
use a variable argument list structure that simplifies calling sequences.
JWAVE
JWAVE lets you create Java client applications that communicate directly with PV‑WAVE running on a remote server. On the server side, PV‑WAVE code is used to analyze data and generate graphics. On the client side, a Java applet (or application) lets users interact with the PV‑WAVE session and display the graphics returned from PV‑WAVE.
PV-WAVE Signal Processing Toolkit
Signal processing is widely used in engineering and scientific research and development for representing, transforming, and manipulating signals and the information they contain. The PV‑WAVE Signal Processing Toolkit is a collection of digital processing functions that work in conjunction with PV‑WAVE Advantage. These functions are designed for easy use by the beginning signal processor, while providing the advanced signal processor with many options for solving difficult problems.
PV-WAVE Image Processing Toolkit
Included in the PV‑WAVE Image Processing Toolkit is an extensive set of filters, transforms, and image processing operators designed to meet the needs of even the most demanding image processing application. A robust graphical interface makes the PV‑WAVE Image Processing functionality easy to use giving the user easy access to:
Image file import and export
Image processing
Histograms
Profiles
Contour Plots
Surface Plots
PV‑WAVE Database Connection
PV-WAVE is the only Visual Data Analysis product to let you directly connect, query, and extract data from possibly your most valuable corporate asset—your SQL database. Database Connection uses standard SQL select statements to let you extract the data you need from any Oracle or ODBC database in your network. In combination with PV-WAVE's integrated table tools for managing and manipulating tabular data, there is no better way to extract meaning—and value—from your data.
PV-WAVE ODBC Connection
PV-WAVE ODBC Connection functions let you import data from ODBC compliant data sources into PV-WAVE for Windows. Once the data is imported, you can use PV-WAVE to analyze, manipulate, and visualize the data.
