ibaAnalyzer
The powerful Analysis Software - flexible and free of Charge
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.
ibaAnalyzer at a Glance
- Comprehensive offine analysis
- Intuitive user interface including dockable windows
- Data from different sources or measurement processes can be easily combined
- A broad set of mathematical and technological functions is available for the generation of derived signals or KPI values
- Integrated FFT analysis (frequency domain)
- Markers and intervals for straight-forward interactive analysis
- Additional components like reporting, maps or the automation of computations
Product Highlights
Partial Windows
- signal tree
- search dialog
- signal strips
- value tables
- Navigator
etc. can be positioned freely. Markers can be used to measure signal characteristics quickly and easily.
Intervals
If a complete time range is of interest rather than individual positions within a trend, this can be handled with so-called intervals. Similar to the markers, intervals can be easily added.
Example Thickness Profile
In this example, the thickness profile of a rolling strip is shown as top view in false-color representation. On the right, the user can see the progression of the measured values for the both marker positions.
Product Features
Flexible, powerful, free of charge
As the key element for data anlysis within the iba system, ibaAnalyzer is a very powerful and efficient tool for interactive and automated measurement data analysis. ibaAnalyzer is licensed free of charge providing a cost-neutral possibility to analyze data acquired with iba software such as ibaPDA, ibaQDR, ibaLogic or ibaHD-Server
Handling measurement data
No matter if data is stored file-based or continuously in ibaHD-Server, data can be viewed or analyzed with ibaAnalyzer immediately. Files can be read by several users simultaneously (e. g. when available on a file share) and can be easily copied and forwarded by email.
Hardcopy and reporting
The print function can be seen as a first simple report which is easily generated. In addition to the signal trends and signal table, the marker and statistical tables as well as the comments are printed.
User interface
The graphical user interface of ibaAnalyzer is organized in individual windows and tabs. All components can be positioned freely and docked using drag & drop.
Signal-oriented analysis with markers
Signal trends, values and distances can be easily measured with two interactive markers. The results, which depend on the marker position, are shown in a comprehensive table.
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 timebased display.
Formula editor
Every time values or virtual signals needs to be derived from available signal data, computations can be defined using the comprehensive formula editor.
Macros
If the same combination of functions needs to be used several times, it is possible to define and save such standardized calculations as macros. Macros offer additional documentation and commenting features to increase the clarity and show the purpose of certain computations.
Grouping and logical expressions
Any resulting values or virtual signals which are used more than once, can be organized as so-called logical expressions. You can define groups and easily structure your results.
Reusing analyses
Evaluations and computations done with the measured data can be easily reused by storing all steps in an analysis file. This is especially important for batch processes to ensure that files are always analyzed in exactly the same way.
Pictures say more
When using ibaCapture to record videos synchronously with high-resolution process data, ibaAnalyzer can be used to analyze those videos together with all other available information. The integrated video player shows the corresponding image for each measurement value.
Access to ibaHD-Server
Data stored in ibaHD-Server can be analyzed using all available functions similar to the use of DAT files. The advantage of ibaHD-Server is that data is available over long periods of time.
Targeted finding of HD data
With the HD query editor, data can be queried either by a simple calendar function or by using conditions to search for specific occurences. With a simple preview window, data ranges can be searched and selected easily.

Success Stories
Add-ons for ibaAnalyzer
The ibaAnalyzer can be modularly extended by a number of useful add-ons with additional functions
ibaAnalyzer-File-Extract
With the add-on ibaAnalyzer-File-Extract, which is subject to charge, measurement data in the iba-dat format can be exported into a number of frequently used standard formats. The export can also be automated with ibaDatCoordinator. The resulting files can then be imported by other programs.
- Automated export of iba-dat files to standard formats
- Easy creation of files in ASCII format
- Other formats: COMTRADE (also according to IEC 60225-24 ed. 2: 2013), TDMS, DAS, Apache Parquet, Matlab
- Support of length-based data (ibaQDR)
ibaAnalyzer-E-Dat
With the ibaAnalyzer-E-Dat add-on, which is subject to charge, measurement files that are not available in dat format, can be analyzed using ibaAnalyzer.
- Easy import via the normal „Open data file“ dialog
- Supported formats: CSV (ACII), COMTRADE, EDAS, TDMS, Danieli FDA, Apache Parquet, Matlab, Wave Dateien, PQDIF (further formats are added constantly)
