Data Innovations introduces new version of middleware

Data Innovations has launched version 8.16 of its Instrument Manager middleware product, which provides enhancements to the software’s moving averages module and moving averages desktop.

“This update is an industry game changer,” said Data Innovations president Premila Peters, in a press release. “For the first time, we are providing significant guidance and tools on how to set up moving averages.”

A tool in version 8.16 calculates the mean or median, standard deviation, and number of results suggested for use for one data point or the “N” in the protocol being set up.

Among the enhancements in the moving averages desktop is a notification bar that provides the status of all protocols being actively monitored, regardless of whether they are being viewed on the desktop. “The desktop now has the ability to scroll backward in time to review moving averages/moving median points that have scrolled off the visual page and the ability to use time as the x-axis,” according to the company’s press release.

In parallel with the introduction of IM v8.16, Data Innovations created a repository of analyte/algorithm combinations from users of moving means/medians to provide peer-to-peer guidance.
