New Features

1 Support for compressed files
ibaAnalyzer now supports compressed files, i.e. for example compressed dat-files.
The archives must contain .dat files and/or files of other supported types (CSV, parquet, etc.).
Further, the archives can contain .pdo or .lst files which will be automatically loaded along with
the other files. Files must be located in the root of archive. Folders are ignored.
1.1 Supported formats and unpacking
The following formats are supported:
• .zip
• .rar
• .7z
• .xz
• .tar
• .bz2
• .gz
• .gzip
ibaAnalyzer opens the archive and unpacks its content into default windows temporary directory
(typically it is located in C:\Users\[User name]\AppData\Local\Temp\). Then the unpacked files
are normally opened. When ibaAnalyzer closes it deletes the temporary files.
Note: Changes can be made to the opened files, but these changes will not be saved to the files
in the archive.
1.2 Archives filter in “Open file” dialogue.

The “Open File” dialog has a new option “Archive files (*.pdc, *.zip, etc)” to show all supported
archives. The option “Append file on multiselect” is working with archives if multiple data files
are contained. Additionally, the switch “/append” is working if archives are opened via the
command line.
The files contained in an archive are shown along with the archive name in the signal tree.
1.3 The .pdc format
Along with the standard archive formats, a new format “.pdc”, which stands for “process data
container” has been introduced. These files are normal .zip archives with a different suffix and
have the same functionality as the archives described above.
The advantage is, though, that ibaAnalyzer registers the file ending, and thus these files can be
opened via double-click or ibaAnalyzer can be selected as default application when
downloading such files from e.g. ibaDaVIS. The files have a separate icon
2 Support passwords in command line
In ibaPDA-V7, ibaFiles-V7, and ibaAnalyzer-V7, .dat files can be password protected.
When opening ibaAnalyzer with a .dat file from the command line, such password can be
specified by adding a pipe character (‘|’) to the filename followed by the password.
Note that it is necessary to “quote” the entire argument since the pipe character has special
meaning in command line instructions.
Example:
C:\Program Files\iba\ibaAnalyzer\ibaAnalyzer.exe
“myfile.dat|mypassword” myanalysis.pdo
3 Show multiple intervals at once
If the option “Add an interval when double clicking on a digital signal” is enabled in the signal
grid preferences (by default it’s enabled), it is possible to add an interval by double clicking on a
digital signal. If all intervals for the entire signal should be displayed, it might be tedious to click
every part of the digital signal.
