The New Data Analysis Software imc FAMOS 2023

The new version of the imc FAMOS 2023 data analysis software aims to improve usability with new wizards and functions that efficiently support test engineers, scientists and technicians in their work and offer sophisticated functions for data import, data analysis and visualization. imc FAMOS diagrams can now be integrated into Microsoft 365 (Office) files via OLE for creating professional presentations.

The QuickView window has been improved and extended. It is optimized for quickly browsing large data amounts and offers now flexible configuration options, such as max. number of channels displayed, „reset to auto scale“ or “save/restore config“. Furthermore, the window is no longer floating and has been integrated as a dedicated tool into the output box.  

Now, full support of imc FAMOS data files with the standard Windows Explorer Preview (as known with pdf for example): it can immediately display a preview of the measurement curve along with imc FAMOS-specific metadata, already within the Microsoft Windows environment - without even the need to open imc FAMOS. 

The Function Assistant was completely reworked. It comes with a modern and well-structured design that is much more intuitive and easier to use. Intelligent functions such as auto-completion and drag & drop for variables reduce manual work to a minimum. Thoroughly revised help texts, provide additional guidance during configuration. 

A new curve configuration assistant provides intelligent support and preconfiguration based on the actual data type. Useful presets (such as waterfall or color map for spectra) will thus reduce user actions and configuration to a minimum. 

At a glance: 

• Configuration assistant is integrated in curve window setup menu 

• Can also be launched upon drag & drop of channels onto panel page 

• Helps to set up the display based on the current channel types - especially useful for e.g.: stacked axis, xy, 3D, geo maps, heat maps, color controlling variables, etc. 

For professional presentations, imc FAMOS data curves can now be integrated into MS PowerPoint, Word or Excel not only as static graphics but rather as OLE objects that embed the entire data content: this allows for dynamic navigation, zooming and formatting by the presenter, from within PowerPoint etc.! 

Curve Window now usable as OLE object (Object Linking and Embedding): 

• Embedding curve windows into MS office documents 

• Incorporating both data contents and curve configuration (ccv). 

• Allows interactive actions within PowerPoint, Word etc. (zoom, cursor, marker etc.) 

• Usable with any OLE compatible application (MS Word, PowerPoint, Excel, …) 

• Available with imc FAMOS Enterprise Edition 

• For target-System (executing PowerPoint): minimum FAMOS Runtime required 

The QuickView window has been improved and extended. It is optimized for quickly browsing large data amounts and offers now flexible configuration options, such as max. number of channels displayed, „reset to auto scale“ or “save/restore config“. Furthermore, the window is no longer floating and has been integrated as a dedicated tool into the output box.  

Areas between arbitrary curves can now be filled with colors: 

The panel in imc FAMOS 2023 has some great improvements like: 

• New widget “tree view” for hierarchical display of elements (e.g. functions and sequences). 

• The Panel grid is now scaled in mm. Any imprecision due to a divided Panel or differing DPI settings for the monitor has been eliminated. 

• Widgets can now be set visible or invisible during runtime via the value of a control variable.
