Hello ,
is it possible to expand Flow with custom plugins ?
Just some examples could be :
1) Import/export filter for other file types
2) Create custom views ( ex. Scatter Graph )
3) Interface with MATLAB
This could be very interesting

Re: Extensions Plugin
Hello Marco,
No, Flow doesn't have a plugin infrastructure. For now, I make customizations on a paid basis - it's actually part of my business - but more flexibility in the application itself is also on the drawing board.
Just curious, which file types would you like support for, and in what way would Flow interface with MATLAB?
Best regards,
Gustaf

Re: Extensions Plugin
Hello Gustaf ,
thank You for Your reply .
I work in automotive market .
About File Types I , for example We often use MDF files ( https://www.asam.net/standards/detail/mdf/wiki/ )
But also some proprietary file formats ( for example 2D DataRecording MES files ) .
Other interesting could be about MAT files for MATLAB .
About Interfacing with MATLAB , the file exchange could be a solution , but also a direct comunication with MATLAB running on the same machine .
For interfacing with MATLAB , mathworks offer a very simple way to call MATLAB functions from external applications , take a look here :

So send data to MATLAB and then get data result from it , You can process the answer and create new channel .
Thank
