Imc FAMOS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remove ads

FAMOS (short for fast analysis and monitoring of signals) is a software for post-processing test & measurement data in time and frequency domain, and visually displaying measurement results.[1][2][3][4] The program was introduced in 1987 by the German company imc Test & Measurement GmbH (integrated measurement & control) in Berlin for Windows. According to its manufacturer, FAMOS offers high speed display and processing of data sets of any size.

Import of a wide variety of data formats

FAMOS can import data from different file formats, e.g. Excel, Binary, TDMS or ASCII files. With a file assistant, it is also possible to create different import filters. It is possible to present the data in different graphical ways. The information can be combined, labeled and processed. FAMOS is able to store data in a proprietary as well as in ASCII or Excel format.[5][6][7]

Data analysis

Imported data can be processed with a variety of mathematical operations, either manually or in automated procedures. These include:

FAMOS offers expansion modules for synchronized display of data and video sequences and for the ASAM-ODS data model. It is also possible to play data back audibly with the PC sound card.[citation needed]

For reviewing raw data or documenting analysis results, data can be plotted using the "curve window". A number of display styles are available like:

  • Amplitude vs. time[15]
  • XY and scatter plot, e.g. force vs. displacement, amplitude vs. RPM[1] or traction coefficient vs. angle of attack[3]
  • Frequency spectrum plot[16]
  • 3D / waterfall plot[6]
  • Color map and contour plot[1]

To highlight events in the data, markers can be placed in the plots that automatically display the respective values of x and y coordinates[1]. Markers can also be used to document time differences between events.[15]

Graphs can be exported to be embedded in office documents or PDF files as PNG or EMF vector graphics.[15]
