Database
Introduction
tiamo is based on an object-oriented database, that has proven itself
in practice. All program settings, the user administration, methods and
templates are stored in the configuration database and the determina-
tion data is stored in the determination databases defined by the user.
These databases can be installed locally on the computer reserved for
measurements and make up a simple measurement system. tiamo is
however scalable and grows with operational requirements. As soon as
data security and central data management make it necessary, tiamo is
installed as a Client/Server configuration. The tiamo database is then
installed on a server. All measurement and office computers work as cli-
ents. All results are stored centrally in this network and can be accessed
and processed by all Client PCs. All clients also access the same pool of
methods.
The new database has all the major tools necessary for management of,
searching for and grouping of results. Quick filters allow the user to search
through thousands of determinations within seconds and to display the
result clearly. Chart plots give a fast overview of the sequence of results
based on time.
All options for reprocessing are available to the user.
