Quicksheet Now Integrates With ImagiWorks’ Data-Collection Line of Products for Palm OS Devices
PLANO, Texas, and SAN MATEO, Calif. — November 30, 1999 — Cutting Edge Software Inc. today announces it has developed an interface that will allow seamless transmission of data between Quicksheet(TM), the acclaimed spreadsheet application for Palm OS(TM) compatible devices, and ImagiWorks' ImagiProbe(TM), a system of data collection and data visualization software products. Quicksheet is the only spreadsheet application to offer this seamless integration.
"The ImagiWorks(TM) line of products allows everyone from children to scientists and various other field technicians to collect and visualize data on the spot," said Dr. Wayne Grant, Chairman of ImagiWorks. "With the Quicksheet interface, users will be able to perform on-the-spot data analysis with the best spreadsheet application for the Palm OS. This combination will open a whole new world of scientific exploration for our users."
Quicksheet is the most comprehensive and feature rich spreadsheet application for the Palm Computing(R) line of handheld computers available on the market today. Quicksheet provides seamless and bi-directional connectivity with Microsoft(R) Excel(TM), allowing users to take existing Excel spreadsheets and synchronize them with Palm Computing handhelds or create spreadsheets on the Palm organizer and synchronize them with Excel on the desktop.
Without the Quicksheet interface, ImagiWorks users have been forced to cut and paste the data manually. Worse, Grant said, users would have to go to a completely different site to analyze the data.
ImagiWorks designed the pen-based software to guide users effortlessly through the gathering and investigation of a wide variety of data. The ImagiProbe core technology includes both hardware and software components. ImagiProbe hardware consists of a Sensor Interface that connects a wide range of probes and sensors to a Palm device. ImagiProbe software provides easy-to-use data modeling tools that enable users to collect data with probes and sensors; graph data in real time as it is collected; annotate data with text and sketches; analyze data to discover relationships, rules, and principles; and communicate data through serial ports.
"Innovative companies like ImagiWorks recognize that Palm devices are more than electronic organizers — they are actually handheld computers that allow people to become unchained from their laptops and personal computers," said Jeff Musa, president of Cutting Edge Software Inc. "The use of Quicksheet for scientific data collection is just one more way that our product can be applied in a myriad of industries."
