What’s new in GI.bench

Faster data access

The new Measurement Explorer offers a browser-style interface to instantly search, view and export both live and recorded data, cutting data lookup from minutes to seconds.

Video logging for visual context

Integrated video recording aligns precisely with measurement events. This allows users to visually review what happened during a test, making root-cause analysis faster and more reliable.

Flexible reporting and export

Export data in CSV, MDF, FAMOS or WAV formats, and generate automated PDF reports directly from dashboards using user-defined templates, ensuring consistent documentation and compliance.

Web access anywhere

Monitor and control tests from any browser, whether on a laptop in the field or a tablet at home; no local GI.bench installation required.

System health at a glance

The new Project State Overview provides a real-time dashboard that displays the status of all connected devices and modules, as well as alerts that notify users of any issues to maintain stable operations.

Clear navigation of complex setups

Struct View Navigation introduces a structured, tree-style overview of test setups, making it easier to manage large-scale configurations and nested subsystems.

Custom automation with Python

With built-in Python scripting, users can automate data analysis, apply specific algorithms or integrate external Python libraries such as NumPy or pandas. With GI.pythonModules, all interfaces for custom test interaction are readily available.

Interfaces without limits

Out-of-the-box support for EtherCAT, OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus, CAN and CAN FD allows convenient integration of factory equipment, internet of things (IoT) sensors, and automotive controllers into one platform without extra middleware.

Cloud-ready in one click

Users can connect to GI.cloud instantly for real-time data acquisition globally with automatic data buffering to safeguard data integrity from anywhere.

20 times faster data streams with Websocket technology

GI.bench’s new advanced Websocket technology boosts responsiveness for real-time visualization of high-frequency measurement data streams, so critical events are captured and analyzed immediately and accurately.

Designed for demanding applications

GI.bench supports a wide range of testing and monitoring applications. Its intuitive interface and comprehensive features are ideal for test engineers, lab managers and developers who require reliable and efficient data handling.

Availability

GI.bench is available as a free download. Advanced modules are licensed separately, making the software platform both accessible to new users and scalable for demanding applications.
