A data analysis environment for HP (Hewlett-Packard) 1000 computers
An examination of data analysis programs used on our Hewlett-Packard (2) 1000 system showed that many programs used a large fraction of code and programming effort to accomplish common tasks, such as file access and creation, data retrieval and storage, and the like. A clear need existed for a comprehensive, well-structured environment which would consolidate many previously-separated functions in a consistent, robust, easy-to-use format. Program DATA was written to accomplish a wide variety of tasks related to analysis of data stored in File Manager files on Hewlett-Packard HP 1000 minicomputer systems. As a data analysis tool, DATA provides a number of mathematical analysis and data manipulation functions. Flexible file structures, on both input and output, are allowed. An editor is included which allows DATA to serve as a binary file editor for data; search routines based on numeric, rather than string, values are incorporated. Also included are graphical plotting of data and functions, cursor selection of specific data regions, and other graphics features. DATA also serves as a shell operating system, with direct interface to the RTE operating system. Commonly-used file management functions are incorporated or enhanced for operator convenience. DATA is both command- and softkey-driven, with on-line help facilities and extensive error-checking. Finally, DATA serves as a common framework for future expansion with additional libraries or user-defined functions. 4 refs.
