Visual Numerics Delivers Powerful Data Analysis and Visualization Tools for the Aerospace Industry
The Aerospace Data Challenge
The Aerospace industry faces many difficult data challenges. Whether you are an airframe manufacturer, a space or satellite systems developer, or are Aerospace contractor or software vendor, the PV-WAVE Family of products has the power to solve your complex data problems.
Typical Aerospace projects such as flight-testing, avionics, structural dynamics, defect analysis, aerodynamics, ground control, and space systems, require sophisticated data analysis and visualization. In order to tackle these problems, scientists and engineers are required to deal with all types of date from simple to big, complicated datasets that come from
varied sources, often in proprietary formats, including ASCII and binary files as well as commercial databases. And, the code and platform requirements frequently change from project to project creating the need for engineers to easily change with them. Mastering large amounts of complex data requires high performance, extensible and flexible tools, which the
PV-WAVE Family is built to deliver.
Solution: Flexible, Extensible, Powerful, Reliable
The PV-WAVE Family of products by Visual Numerics - PV-WAVE, TS-WAVE, and JWAVE - delivers aerospace engineers the tools to efficiently and accurately meet their data challenges, no matter what form or complexity they come in. The PV-WAVE development solutions allow you to rapidly import, manipulate, analyze and visualize your data. And, PV-WAVE Advantage
has the added benefit of a sophisticated set of analysis routines based on the IMSL libraries.
In addition to the broad functionality of PV-WAVE, TS-WAVE delivers unprecedented power to the Aerospace industry by providing an extensible COTS solution that allows for custom interactive time-series data analysis and the ability to read almost any data format. And, JWAVE is PV-WAVE's web-enabled version that allows teams to collaborate across the enterprise and quickly access data from anywhere, at anytime.
Whether you need an interactive desktop solution to explore data and create one-off solutions, a custom application to perform analysis and generate plots, an off-the-shelf solution that is extensible and easily imports complex data, or a web-based solution to share information with people outside of your group, the PV-WAVE Family delivers. It has the functionality you need in a flexible, open systems environment that easily adapts to your data needs.

Proven Results
Visual Numerics has been solving complex data problems for high profile Aerospace customers for over a decade. Some of the Aerospace data challenges we can share include:
- European Space Research Center
- Developed a multipurpose data analysis software package for use in all phases of satellite systems from pre-launch testing through full commissioning. This project used both satellite telemetry data and ground station processed data, including synthetic aperture radar image data, thus both time series and image data were involved.
- Integral Systems
- Developed an off-line analysis module for a satellite ground command and control system. Analyzed archived satellite data to track satellite performance and investigate problems. Large, complex datasets, analysis and charting, automated report generation, and multi-platform support were all requirements.
- NASA Glenn Advanced Research Center
- Researched the performance of arc jet thrusters used to stabilize satellites using fluorescence image data. The parameters calculated include temperature, types of particles, energy conversion, and pattern of ionization. PV-WAVE was also used in material defect analysis using multiple lasers.
Unparalleled PV-WAVE Functionality
- Data Access
- PV-WAVE can easily import proprietary and custom data formats and
provide support for a wide range of standard image formats. PV-WAVE can access data directly
from commercial databases and easily manage large datasets.
- Data Reduction and Filtering
- Use PV-WAVE's powerful array-based language to
easily write code to subset, filter, and transform data.
- Data Analysis
- PV-WAVE Advantage delivers powerful data analysis capabilities, which
include the industry standard IMSL libraries of over 370 mathematical and statistical routines.
- Charting
- With PV-WAVE, creating highly customized and interactive charts is easy. Time
series charts with date/time axes, multiple axes, overlaid charts, and custom mouse
interactions are all possible. Image processing, contour charts, 3D charts and even interactive
3D visualizations rendered using OpenGL provide an unparalleled depth of functionality.
- Platform Support
- PV-WAVE runs on all platforms, including Windows, Linux, UNIX,
and OpenVMS. Code created using PV-WAVE is platform neutral, so it can run on any system.
- Legacy Code
- Call your legacy C or FORTRAN code from PV-WAVE, or call PV-WAVE
directly from your own C or FORTRAN application.
- Open System Platform
- Support for communication between processes using
operating system calls, pipes, remote procedure calls (RPCs), and sockets make it easy to
develop client/server applications or communicate between PV-WAVE and other in-house or
third party applications. Web-enabled applications are available with JWAVE.
- User Interface Development
- Create simple to complex, platform-independent
user interfaces with ease.
- Time Series Application
- Flight test engineers use TS-WAVE, the leading COTS solution.
- All-in-one Solution
- meet all of your varied data needs with one solution, now... and
in the future.
