Offline Processing
Data Display is a full-featured RCS processing package for offline processing and plotting of RadarMan™ data. A single-seat license of Data Display is included with the purchase of each RadarMan™ unit. Additional licenses can also be purchased or leased.
The user interface for Data Display, like that for RadarMan™, is very intuitive. The processing setup screen contains a section for selecting data files, and a section for selecting plot types, processing functions and plotting parameters. An error check feature assures that all selections can be logically processed and displayed. The processing setup can be saved as a named file for later use. Once the processing setup is complete, the setup page is exited and the plot window is open. Pressing the BEGIN PROCESSING button starts the processing engine to create the data plots.
The software allows re-plotting of RadarMan™ data in all formats available in RadarMan™ real-time plotting, with the additional capability of navigating through files to any point based on a block number, time stamp, or target/ antenna position. In addition, the software can simultaneously plot data from multiple waveform entities, either as overplots in a single window, or individually. Markers on line plots display the X and Y values at the location of the marker, and plots can be easily zoomed to any scale.
ISAR images can be created at any requested angle, or continuously updated at requested angle increments. These image sequences can be saved to .avi files as movies at selectable frame rates. In addition to ISAR images, the software can create SAR images from data collected on a rail-mounted antenna connected to RadarMan.
Displayed images can be measured on individual pixels using a cursor tip tool, or regions of the image can be selected using a rectangle drawing tool to display the RSS value of the included pixels. The software also performs Image Edit and Reconstruct (IER) for ISAR images, as well as sector statistics for line plots.
QuarterBranch's policy for adding processing functionality to Data Display is that if the requested feature is added to the standard product for release to the entire user populations, the new feature is added at no charge. If the feature is to be proprietary, then standard time-and-materials charges apply. All requests for additions are placed into the release schedule to ensure timely availability for customers who are under warranty or paid support. Added features that are proprietary to a user are not made available in the standard product are not released to the general user population.
In short, if Data Display doesn't have a required tool, just ask.
