The Quest 2000 Data Analysis system from CompuQuest, inc. offers the latest in power and capability. Designed for flexibility, the system can process data from a wide range of file formats including elan, SPC MK V, and Common Data Format (CDF). Additional formats can be added for customers needing access to customized data. Numerous output plot formats are available to display the target and antenna return data in either polar or rectilinear grid format. Both 2D (e.g. RCS vs. Angle) and 3D ( e.g. RCS vs. Frequency vs. Angle) plotting are supported. The 3D plots can be generated in either color pixel or contour format. Special processing capabilities are provided to perform DC bias removal, background vector subtraction, software gating and edit and reconstruction of ISAR images. When generating ISAR images, the imaging module provides a collection of diagnostic and utility routines for image manipulation and analysis. These routines include display zoom and pan, image statistics, and edit and reconstruction of the processed data. Complete statistical analysis functions are included to calculate and display sector averages, medians, and cumulative probabilities. There is also a collection of antenna processing functions in addition to the standard RCS features making this truly a complete data analysis package.

The Quest 2000 Data Analysis system was designed to provide the processing power of the Quest 1909 system and its macro-driven user interface, but with a simpler, more intuitive operator interface. Data can be processed quickly and easily without any complex setup. With the Quest 2000 package, a wide variety of signal processing and data plotting formats are provided, each easily accessed using dialog boxes and pull down menus. All of the required parameters for the data reduction process are available via a single operator screen. All of the standard processing and output formats are supported by the Quest 2000 system, so it is ideal for the production environment. If a specialized function or capability is not supported, and the customer prefers the ease of operation provided by this version of the software, CompuQuest, inc. can modify the system to provide for this custom feature.
