LightningChart .NET

 

LightningChart .NET is a lightning-fast 2D and 3D data visualization SDK compatible with WinForms, WPF, and UWP.

LightningChart .NET is a charting library that is used in the most-demanding industries including science and research, vibration analysis, aerospace and defense, motorsports, industrial process monitoring, trading and finance, and more.

Utilizing CPU and memory resources efficiently, LightningChart is developed and optimized for professional high-speed software dealing with real-time data acquisition and representation. This provides an unmatched performance to deployed applications.

LightningChart is entirely GPU accelerated and performance optimized for presenting the massive amount of data, up to 1 trillion data points with 128 GB of RAM, and enables the best real-time monitoring smoothness in the industry. See performance notes.

LightningChart provides the following Features: XY charts, 3D charts, Polar view, Smith view, Maps, Signal Tools, Volume Rendering and Trading charts.

The newest version of LightningChart v.12 introduces the ImageLayer, a new feature that can be gradually filled with smaller images which accumulation process happens in the background thread process allowing the chart UI to remain fast and responsive.

Version 12.0 also introduces the IntensityGridSeriesPolarseries for visualizing an M x N array of nodes colored by an assigned value-range palette where the colors between nodes are interpolated.

 

PROPERTIES OF FEATURES

SignalTools:

SignalReader
SignalReader generates real-time data stream reading signal files in different formats: WAV (PCM), sid (biosignal file), ssd (LightningChart Demo application sample data format). The playback can be automatically restarted with looping option.

SignalGenerator
SignalGenerator is a multi-functional signal generator component. It allows combining different waveform types into single, real-time output signal. The waveform components can be set with a built-in user interface or by code. 

AudioInput
Reads real-time sampled data stream from sound card line-in (using e.g. microphone) through DirectSound. The data can be forwarded to chart, AudioOutput or your own data target. 

AudioOutput
Allows real-time data stream playback via sound card line-out (using e.g. speakers) through DirectSound. The data can be fetched from SignalGenerator, SignalReader, AudioInput or other data source. 

SpectrumCalculator
Converts data between time domain and frequency domain using
Fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm. Optimal for calculating FFT conversion and power spectrum of sampled signal data.
