Live Analyzer

ObserVIEW Live Analyzer enables VR hardware (VR9500, VR10500, and ObserVR1000) to serve as a real-time dynamic signal analyzer. Use many of the advanced graphs found in post-process analysis in real-time. With the data DVR feature, pause the live stream to select, analyze, and export a section of the time waveform. Resume without losing any of the data that occurred while the data stream was paused.

Why Buy an Upgrades & Support Agreement?

Insurance

Your U&SA includes continual extensions to the 3-year full hardware warranty at purchase. Keeping your U&SA up to date means you have a lifetime warranty, which is a terrific controller hardware insurance policy. U&SA also includes continual software updates, so you always have access to our latest features, essentially a software insurance policy. Like any insurance, the value lies in risk avoidance.

Savings

When VR’s support experts help your team solve a pesky test problem, the team saves time, and time really is money for any business. If the fully burdened cost of a test engineer is $100/hour (pretty conservative) and VR support cuts problem resolution from 8 hours to 2 hours (also conservative) on 10 problems a year, then the savings are $100 x 6 x 10 = $6,000.

Efficiency

VR support experts do more than solve problems, they help test engineers work more efficiently. It may be quickly homing in on the best test method for a specific product issue, or sharing tips on faster ways to create reports. Even a small boost in efficiency delivers value to your business. The $100/hour (fully burdened) engineer costs your business $200,000 a year. A 5% efficiency increase is worth $10,000.
