look at the two tools you mentioned. I'm not very impressed by dasylab (which
is probably more interesting to acquire your data from physical lines in the
first place), but the other tool sounds quite cool indeed. I don't know if it's
easy to get a demo version, maybe we should try it. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

certainly not a small effort so you're right not to expect it in the next

experienced coder, I can't really estimate how much effort it would be. 2
months for that sounds a bit short…<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

for KST. Please forgive me if this has been discussed before, as I have
only recently joined this mailing list.<br>
<br>
It would be great to have a graphical data manager, similar to that used in <a
href="http://www.ncode.com/en/menu/products/ncode-glyphworks/features-at-a-glance/">ncode
GlyphWorks </a>and <a href="http://www.dasylab.com/">dasylab</a>.<br>
<br>
A graphical data manager uses icons to represent processes to be performed on
data (e.g. import, filter, equation, shift, plot, export etc). The user
configures each function by double clicking on the icon to access the
appropriate dialogue box. The flow of data is represented by lines (or
pipes) connected between icons. The connection points are colour coded to
represent compatible data types (e.g. time series data, frequency data
etc). The arrangement of icons and connections can then be saved for later
use or batch processing.<br>
<br>
If any one is interested, there is a good video <a
href="http://www.ncode.com/en/menu/products/ncode-glyphworks/features-at-a-glance/">here</a>
(see Interactive Demo on RHS) demonstrating these capabilities.<br>
<br>
I realise that this is a really big ask and wont happen any time soon but if
other people like the idea it could be added to the long term road map.<br>
<br>
Cheers, Ben<br>
