IDL Dataminer

IDL Dataminer is an easy-to-use add-on module to IDL that provides the technology you need for accessing, querying and editing information from common databases, including Oracle, Sybase, MySQL and more. IDL Dataminer makes IDL an even more convenient, flexible tool for scientists, engineers and application developers who do not have the time or expertise to write their own database access routines. Yet it is still advanced enough for power users to design their own SQL queries.

This ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) compliant module is an off-the-shelf solution with pre-made routines for calling databases. Now you can get the data you need, regardless of your experience level with ODBC or SQL queries.

Retrieve the data you need without interrupting your IDL
Create, delete, query tables
Access, analyze, and visualize data using one tool
Query and edit information from multiple databases simultaneously
Automatically convert records to IDL data types
Use a consistent API across platforms – Works with Windows and Unix

IDL DICOM Solutions

As a medical imaging professional, DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) provides a standardized data management approach for today's medical imaging workflow, where images and data can be exchanged across hospitals or clinics, or around the world in a consistent manner.

IDL Advanced Math & Stats

Quickly add advanced mathematical and statistical functionality to an IDL application with the IDL Advanced Math and Stats Module. This add-on solution combines advanced data visualization and analysis capabilities with the comprehensive mathematical and statistical routines of the IMSL™ C Numerical Library — a set of pre-written mathematical and statistical algorithms that can be embedded into your program.
