With versions OXYGEN 6.0 and OXYGEN 6.1 we have significantly expanded the functionality of our popular data acquisition software. But now it is time for detailed improvements. Even if this may sound boring at first glance, the new OXYGEN 6.2 will improve the user experience in many areas.<\/p>\n

In the following sections we want to introduce you to some of the new features of OXYGEN 6.2. But if you do not want to lose time, you might as well download OXYGEN 6.2 directly here:<\/p>\n

    Additional statistics options<\/h2>\n
    \n

    One of the most frequently used functions in OXYGEN are the statistics options. Already in OXYGEN 6.1 we enabled the calculation of additional parameters like variance or crest factor. But with OXYGEN 6.2 it is now also possible to set triggers<\/em> and to use running statistics<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    The new trigger function allows you to start statistical calculations when a trigger event occurs. Of course, you can also use a trigger event to terminate a statistical calculation. OXYGEN additionally offers you the possibility to stop calculations not with a trigger, but after a time specified by you.<\/p>\n

    Running statistics<\/em> are often used to smooth highly fluctuating data. With the new running statistics function, the calculation of moving averages and other characteristic values is possible directly in OXYGEN. To do this, simply select a look back window. For this time window, the statistical value selected by you will now be continuously averaged.<\/p>\n

    More extensive options for special file formats<\/h5>\n
    \n

    The handling of file formats is the essential feature of any DAQ software. In OXYGEN 6.2 we have therefore put a special focus on extended options for reading and exporting data.<\/p>\n

    Thus, from now on it is possible to use *.csv<\/em> files also in PLAY mode. The PLAY mode is aimed primarily at the offline analysis<\/a> of data. But it is not just possible to import *.csv<\/em> data. When importing, there are now also some advanced options available. For example, you can set the first column of the *.csv<\/em> file as absolute or relative time. However, you can also simply set an individual sample rate instead.<\/p>\n

    Another new feature applies to *.dmd<\/em> files. When saving measurement data, you can now exclude channels that should not be saved. This is especially useful if you are working with large data sets and there is not enough storage space available.<\/p>\n

    A new export format<\/h2>\n
    \n

    A distinguishing feature of OXYGEN is the number of export formats, of which there are now 14 different ones. For every conceivable third-party software OXYGEN has the right export format. With OXYGEN 6.2 we extend the number of export formats to 15 by adding the *.NetCDF <\/em>file format.<\/p>\n

    *.NetCDF<\/em> is a format that can efficiently handle scientific data. Especially in the fields of atmospheric science and oceanography this format is used extensively. In OXYGEN 6.2 you now have the choice between the following formats:<\/p>\n
