Powerful Analysis with ibaAnalyzer

ibaAnalyzer is the central component for data
analysis in the iba system. It offers broad
functionality for computing and evaluating while
being intuitive to operate. ibaAnalyzer is licensed
free of charge, add-on products are available
to enhance the functionality of ibaAnalyzer.

Signal trends, values and dis-
tances can be easily measured
with two interactive markers.
The results, which depend on the
marker position, are shown in a
comprehensive table. Further,
statistical information for each

interesting marker position is
identified, so-called computed
markers can be placed easily. As
the name suggests, the marker
positions can also be calculated
from the measurement data. For
example, a marker can be shown
where a certain limit value has
been exceeded for the first time.

Length-based display
When analyzing production
processes for long products,
like in a rolling mill, ibaAnalyzer
offers a length-based display in
addition to the standard time-­

useful when deriving product
quality values like the excee-
dance of tolerances or the total
length of good quality products.
In the example above, the thickness profile of a rolling strip is shown as top
view in false-color representation. On the right, the user can see the pro-

ibaAnalyzer-Maps
With ibaAnalyer-Maps it is possible to
display geographic positions and movement
based on GPS coordinates. Therefore,
ibaAnalyzer can be used to not only know
when something happened but also where.
Simply record longitude and latitude

Automated data processing

ibaDatCoordinator
ibaDatCoordinator is a powerful tool for processing and
managing measurement data automatically. Typical
fields of application are automatic data management,
creating reports or the extraction of product-related
characteristic values in databases or other systems. In
synergy with ibaAnalyzer, various tasks can be done fully
automatically and routine procedures can be simplified.
