catmanEASY/AP
HBM's PC‐based data acquisition software catmanEASY/
AP can be used to professionally record data and for data
analysis. You have many professional data acquisition
functions (DAQ) available that are also helpful for starting
up and for acquiring quality data:
S
Visualization, storage and analysis of PMX measure­
ment data, internal calculated channels, digital inputs/
outputs and fieldbus data with up to 38.4 measured
values per second and per channel.
S
Simple PMX system and channel configuration
(sensor database, TEDS editor, data rate, filters, etc.)
S
Measured value trigger via PMX digital inputs/outputs,
external PLC. (trigger prepost, cyclic storage, long-
term measurement, etc.)
S
Efficient data analysis (signal-to-signal, zoom, magni­
fier, ruler, min/max, FFT, cutting to size, removing out­
liers, etc.)
S
Create automatic reports or display and export meas­
urement data (MS Word, Excel, etc.)
S
Create your own test and measurement routines with
the script language catman Script.
Up to 20 PMX can be used simultaneously in a measure­
ment with catman. Synchronization
(< 1

s) occurs via sync connectors in the PMX (see sec­
tion 9 Synchronization).
If the PMX is to be used in a measurement together with
other measuring devices (e.g. MGCplus or QuantumX),
the devices can be synchronized via the NTP protocol
(1 ms to 100 ms). To allow the PMX to be used with other
