TSAP Software
Discover the life history of trees.
TSAP-Win™ offers a powerful software platform for tree ring analyses. All steps, from measurement up to the evaluation of tree ring sequences, are covered by TSAP-Win™. A large number of graphic and statistical functions up to database links are available in TSAP-Win™ and help you manage your data.
TSAP Win Scientific follows the philosophy to cover the basic fields of dendrochronological analysis on one platform:
• Measurement using LINTAB or other devices
• Editing on screen in the graph
• Cross dating on screen, supported by statistical parameters
• Chronology building from cross dated samples or by adding samples to an existing chronology
• Graphs lines, bars, beams, peaks
• Mathematical operations Easy operations, indexation, trend/regression, correlations, statistics table
• Exchange with foreign data formats Catras, Hemmenhofen, Birmensdorf, INRA, Belfast, V Format and others
• Connection of foreign measurement tables Velmex, Aniol and other devices
• Database comfortable sort and search of data), available soon TSAP Win manages time series on data stacks. Thus, samples can be kept apart from references and output data, such as index series.
