Northwich, Cheshire, 28th November 2011 – Kane Computing Ltd (KCL) are pleased to announce the signing of an agreement with NEXTXEN (Dallas, Texas) to distribute their NEXTWave™ Signal Processing Lab Software (SPL) in the UK.
NEXTWave SPL is a digital signal processing (DSP) software package that provides an exciting innovative interactive data analysis environment. NEXTWave SPL simplifies data processing and development and provides sophisticated waveform measurement capabilities and displays.
The main areas of innovation are using a game-based architecture for compelling 3D experience, beautiful 3D Spectrograms and leveraging Microsoft’s (new) ribbon interface for waveform creation/modification.
Designed by engineering professionals with over 50 man-years experience in DSP software tooling, NEXTWave SPL was created to improve the way signals are studied while also drastically reducing the associated learning curve. The user is provided with exceptional data visualisation which is derived from real-world engineering.
NEXTWave SPL allows an exciting interactive 3D experience. The 3D ‘virtual world’ supports analysing existing waveform data “as-is”, in addition to allowing number crunching on the data. New signals may be easily created or acquired in real-time and existing signals can be quickly introduced into this environment via standard data files. With NEXTWave SPL these signals can then be subsequently analysed, processed, and studied in detail.
Jim Zachman of NEXTXEN said “Tools exist today to implement DSP, synthesize signals and display data. However, the ability to visualise data fast, easily, and on-the-fly is not a primary goal of many of these tools. As such, the software architecture they offer may not provide the optimal “extension of thought” intuitive interface that would allow novice and expert users to immediately visualise data in the fashion they desire. NEXTWave Signal Processing Lab (SPL) provides a solution for these issues and can also add value to current data analysis activities.”
Richard White, Managing Director of KCL stated that after a detailed review of NEXTWave he is confident that the NEXTWave software product line is of great value to virtually all engineers and scientists involved commercially in signal processing and data analysis, and that it also serves as a useful tool in academic arenas for conveying underlying signal processing principles and concepts to students.
NEXTXEN have created a range of discounted academic DSP Labs including a set of Lab Exercises which have been constructed to work in conjunction with the NEXTWave Signal Processing Lab (SPL) software. The pairing of an intuitive graphical environment with easy-to-follow lab exercises allows students to concentrate on DSP concepts being taught, and reduces the learning curve that is typically associated with students having to work with software-based tooling.
NEXTWave SPL software was chosen as Editor’s Choice by Military Embedded Systems Magazine, July/August 2011.
