About Analysis Database
Analysis Database is used for economical storing and easy managing of results of analysis, which has been performed in FFS Data Processor. It provides convenient and fast way of searching and retrieving information. This software let one to get rid of a great amount of paper needed to keep information about the measurements, performed analysis as well as to avoid routine manipulation with computer files, folders, etc.
Database consists of several tables with the automatically supported relationships between them.
The main features of the database are:
-
fast storing of analysis results, often-used model and parameter linkage configurations (Templates) in the Database;
-
convenient representation of analysis results;
-
representation of templates configuration;
-
extensive possibilities for searching and filtering information;
-
build-in two-dimensional graphical pre-viewer of experimental and recovered characteristics and residuals;
-
two-dimensional graphical pre-viewer of estimated parameters dependence
-
export data to the ASCII files;
-
quick deleting all records from the tables;
-
packing tables (reduces size of the tables);
-
checking and repairing the tables;
-
generating and printing user-defined reports on the base of the selected records.
Database supports data integrity and validity. All information concerning the defined object is stored in one record in table. The mechanism of data integrity forbids deleting a record from one table which is linked to the records in the other tables. Data validity guarantees that values stored in the tables are always valid by the checking of the range and type of the entered data. Database is protected from the accidental changing or deleting of information by the default forbidding of editing.
Database avoids data redundancy: each record has only one instance. It means that it is not required to enter information into the tables, if the same information is already stored in the database. User can just establish the relation between the entered and stored information. This feature is especially useful when one needs to update records in the database. The correction should be done only once at one point (where the changed information is stored) and then this update will take effect in all records which are related to the selected one.
Database provides extensive possibilities for searching information. The fastest way how to find a record by a specific field is by typing first symbols of this field in a special window. Cursor moves to the record with the field, which contains symbols matching the typed ones. The possibility to sort any table by any field is also supported.
User may also interactively create filter with complex conditions in order to decrease the selected number of records.
Such operations as looking through the records, deleting records, editing information are provided by Database Navigator.

Notes
- There are two kinds of DataSets: Experimental and Simulated. For the first one the fields FileID, File Name, Type, Files Group Name, Observ Date, SamplePos, KineticN and RepeatN are the correspondent fields from the Measurements Database. To find out more about it see About Measurements Database help topic. For the second one File Name represents the name of Simulated DataSet, Date is the date of simulation of this DataSet and Files Group Name is blank field. Simulated DataSet has also properties, which can be displayed by Data Set Properties local menu item{linkID=5360} for this aim. This menu item runs Measurements Database if the DataSet is Experimental.
- The significant information (not all) from the Measurements Database are stored in the Analysis Database. The link to the Measurements Database is stored as well. It makes both Databases independent from each other. If this link is broken due to any reason (it may be export data to the another database), use the Locate DataSet form to locate the needed DataSet in the another Measurements Database, registered on the machine.
- All fields are read only.
- This table can be sorted by any field. To perform the sorting by the given field, select this field and press Ascending/Descending Sort button in the Toolbar or choose Ascending/Descending menu items in the local menu.
- Use Quick Search button in the Toolbar or choose Quick Search menu items in local menu for quick searching the information in the selected field.

Contains the value of the parameter or parameters group. This
value should belong to the interval from the minimum value contained
in the field Minimum to the maximum value contained in the field
Maximum.
|
|
Minimum
|
Contains the minimum constraint for the value of parameter or
parameters group.
|
|
Maximum
|
Contains the maximum constraint for the value of parameter or
parameters group.
|
|
Fixed
|
Indicates whether the current parameter
or parameters group
should be fitted during the analysis. If Fixed is true
then the value of the current parameter
will be constant
during the analysis, otherwise the parameter will be fitted.
|
|
Owner
|
Contains the name and type of the model, to which the current
parameter belongs
(for
parameters only).

Notes
The parameters that are displayed in this table can be sorted by any field. To perform the sorting by the given field, click the header of the correspondent column. To change the sorting order, click the same header second time. A small triangle to the right of the header name shows the sort direction.

Preview window
This window is used for two-dimensional display of the experimental and recovered characteristics and residuals stored in the current record of the Analysis Configuration table. The name of the analysis and the name of the characteristic are displayed in the title of this window. The window consists of two charts: Characteristics and Residuals. The dimensions displayed along the vertical and horizontal axes depend from the type of the characteristic.
An example view of the Preview window is given below:
Use local menu of 2D Chart for customizing the chart, export chart data to text and BMP files, save, apply and reset user defined settings.
Use Navigator in the bottom of this window to look through other characteristics participating in the current analysis.
Close button closes this window.
Help button opens the help window that describes how to work with Preview window.
Residuals chart
This 2D Chart is used for two-dimensional display of the residuals stored in the current record of "Analysis Configuration" table. The dimensions displayed along the vertical and horizontal axes depend from the type of the characteristic and including weight factors in the analysis (weighted fit).
Characteristics chart
This 2D Chart is used for two-dimensional display of the experimental and recovered characteristics stored in the current record of the "Analysis Configuration" table. The dimensions displayed along the vertical and horizontal axes depend from the type of the characteristic.
Button "Close"
This button closes this form.
Navigator
This Navigator allows to look through experimental and recovered characteristics and residuals.
Button "Help"
Opens the help window that describes how to work with Preview window.
