What is DTFL?

DTFL is a comprehensive interactive program which allows time-frequency concepts to be explored thoroughly and tested on one's own data. The program uses the Matlab engine and features a number of menus, sliders, buttons, etc, which allow a very flexible and comprehensive analysis of time-series data. Critical functions are provided in object code for speed. In addition, utility programs are provided for command line and batch oriented production processing of a large number of files.

Availability

Applications are being taken for beta testing. Software will be provided at a reduced price during the beta testing period with advantageous upgrades when the full release is offered. At present DTFL is available for most UNIX workstations, HP, SUN, IBM RS-6000, DEC, SGI. Within a few months we expect to offer Windows and Macintosh versions. The software is available via the University of Michigan/Software Sales in the Technology Management Office.

Motivation

This software is being made available due to the strong interest in the technique, which has been reported in numerous papers, lectures and a 3-day intensive course every year in mid-August at the University of Michigan. All royalties will be returned to the project to support further development of the software package and to provide rapid responses to users who are using the software, concerning specific use of the software. Graduate students in the group will be available for these needs and will be compensated via the funds resulting from sales.
