Besides the display of data, the storage of measured data is one of the main features of ibaPDA. If the measured data are stored and available as data files (*.dat), you can view, analyze or post-process the data conveniently with ibaAnalyzer.

The data files generated by ibaPDA have a special signature that prevents the measured data being read or post-processed using third-party software. To maintain calculation accuracy, data types such as 32-bit integers or 64-bit floating points (double) are stored in the data file unchanged so that calculations can be carried out in ibaAnalyzer with full resolution. The datatype 64-bit floating point is also supported for virtual signals as results of calculations in ibaPDA.

The data storage management of ibaPDA offers a variety of options which enable you to customize the data storage according to your needs in order to get the maximum benefit.

The dialog for data storage configuration can be opened in the Configuration – Data Store Manager... main menu or by clicking on the button in the main tool bar.
