FlexPro offers you special analysis objects for all common analyses. These are FPScript formulas that FlexPro automatically creates. You can set the parameters for the analysis object using its Properties dialog box. The formula will then be adjusted automatically. Analysis objects thus offer automated analyses without any programming.
In addition to simple parameterization, many analysis objects can automatically generate the physical units and comments for their results. You can transform analysis objects into data sets or formulas at any time.
In the Reference section, you will find an alphabetical list of the available analysis objects.
Note In FlexPro View only a small set of analysis objects for basic statistics is available.
External Parameterization of Analysis Objects
In most cases, you enter numerical parameters, such as the smoothing width of a signal smoothing, directly as numerical values in the properties dialog box of the analysis object. Instead, you can also specify a reference to an external data set or a formula that is to provide the parameter. This is useful if, for example, you want to set a parameter for several analysis objects in one place or calculate the parameter. Parameters for which this is possible are displayed in the combination list field typical for data set references instead of in a simple text field.
Analyzing several data sets
For multichannel analyses, the same calculations are used for multiple channels. In this case, FlexPro can create one analysis object for all output data sets or an analysis object for each output dataset.
If you create only one analysis object, it will provide all calculated data sets as a list. The advantage of this is that you only have to parameterize one object and an analysis with a better structure. This option is also particularly useful if all channels need to be processed in the same format, such as when filtering, integrating and displaying 16 channels.
If you decide to create one analysis object per output data set, you can parameterize each analysis individually, and it will be easier to select individual results for further processing.
