# Importance of Data Analysis

The importance of integrating analysis libraries into engineering stations is that the raw data, as shown in the following figure, does not always immediately convey useful information. Often, you must transform the signal, remove noise disturbances, correct for data corrupted by faulty equipment, or compensate for environmental effects, such as temperature and humidity.

By analyzing and processing the digital data, you can extract the useful information from the noise and present it in a form more comprehensible than the raw data, as shown in the following figure:

The LabWindows/CVI Advanced Analysis Library contains functions that simplify the development of analysis applications.
