User:DVT/UserDocumentation/DVT Solution Builder Guide

Building a solution

Solution builders need to partition the elements of a solution (to a given problem) into the following phases:

1. Acquiring data: In this phase, data is acquired from some data source for later processing.
2. Processing Acquired Data: In this phase, data is processed and manipulated in one or multiple steps.
3. Visualizing data: In this phase, the result of the data processing is shown in a view such as a table or a graph.

Acquiring data

DVT contains several data source that a solution-builder may use. These include 'Text File Reader', a 'TCPIP Data Source'. If a solution need to acquire data from a different data source, the solution-builder may need to write/create a custom data source. For that, please refer to: User:DVT/UserDocumentation/DVT Component Developer Guide

Processing the Data

DVT contains several built in data processor that a solution-builder may use. These include 'Decoders', Correlators, 'Symbol lookup', 'Scriptable DP'. For a complete list please refer to: User:DVT/UserDocumentation/DVT Component Reference Guide. If a solution require some type of data processing that is not covered by the built-in components, the solution-builder may need to write/create a custom data source. For that, please refer to: User:DVT/UserDocumentation/DVT Component Developer Guide

Visualizing The data

DVT contains several data visualization components (views) that a solution-builder may use. These include 'Table view', 'Line Graph', 'Bar Graph', etc. Refer to User:DVT/UserDocumentation/DVT Data Views for view components reference.

Building Solutions

To create Data Analysis and Visualization Solutions for specific use case, DVT components can be wired and configured using the Graphical Solution Builder. Refer to User:DVT/UserDocumentation/DVT Solution Builder Guide GSB for more info.

Solution Control

The DVT runtime environment includes a toolbar for controlling (play, stop, reset) solutions. The Eclipse property page can be used to change component properties. For more end-user friendly configuration/control the DVT Control Panel can be used (see User:DVT/UserDocumentation/DVT Control Panel). Alternatively an Eclipe plug-in can be written.
