Offline Analysis
Data that is saved on a 167xx analyzer in fast binary format, or 16900 analyzer data saved as a *.ala file, can be imported into the 1680/90/900 environment for analysis. You can do offline analysis on a PC if you have the 1680/90/900 operating system installed on the PC, if you need this software please contact Agilent.
Offline analysis allows a user to be able to analyze a trace offline at a PC so it frees up the analyzer for another person to use the analyzer to capture data.
If you have already used the license that was included with your package on a 1680/90/900 analyzer and would like to have the offline analysis feature on a PC you may buy additional licenses, please contact FuturePlus sales department.
In order to view decoded data offline, after installing the 1680/90/900 operating system on a PC, you must install the FuturePlus software. Please follow the installation instructions for “Setting up a 16900 analyzer”. Once the FuturePlus software has been installed and licensed follow these steps to import the data and view it.
