DataX - Data Exchange

The ETAP Data Exchange module (DataX) is used to import, export, and synchronize data between external data sources and ETAP. DataX transforms legacy data into ETAP, interfaces ETAP to external architecture such as AutoCAD®, Microstation®, or synchronizes ETAP with other applications such as Intergraph SmartPlant® Electrical. Customizable data mapping, intelligent error checking, and automated one-line diagram generator are amongst the many utilities provided with ETAP DataX.

Key Features
  • Import & export data
  • Data synchronization
  • Automatic one-line diagram generation
  • Intelligent error checking
  • Customizable data mapping
  • Real-time data exchange
  • Raw data IEEE format
ETAP Data Exchange is used to import, export, and synchronize data between external data sources and ETAP. DataX provides many utilities including:
  • Legacy data transformation into ETAP
  • Interface with external architecture databases
  • Customizable data mapping
  • Intelligent error checking
  • Automatic one-line diagram generation
Data Import & Export
  • DXF
  • Metafile
  • XML
  • IEEE Format
  • RAW Data Files
  • Status Configuration
  • MS Access
  • MS Excel
  • e-DPP
  • SmartPlant Electrical
  • Third Party Programs
DataX includes several new conversion programs that allow for conversion of third party electrical power system databases to ETAP. The conversion program will automatically generate a multi-layered graphical one-line diagram. A list of available conversion programs are available upon request.
 
Output Report Data Comparator
The Output Report Data Comparator can be used to compare any two output report databases of ETAP analysis modules. This application interfaces with the Scenario Wizard allowing exhaustive comparison of output reports from the latest version against a previously saved benchmark output report database. The benchmark results could have been generated using a previous version or the same version of ETAP.
  • Compare any ETAP output report database
  • Compare any Microsoft® Access database (MDB files)
  • Compare results of different ETAP releases
  • Flexible database instruction file with default settings
  • Available Command Line instruction
  • Automatic validations with user-defined deviation limit
  • Summary & detailed comparison with Pass / Fail stamping
DataX - Base
In addition to the standard data exchange capabilities such as import IEEE and RAW data formats, DataX has been enhanced to read SEQ and DYR file formats for importing unbalanced impedance data as well as dynamic data for transient stability studies.
