To handle the needs of scientists today and in the future, software tools are going to have to take better advantage of the currently available hardware. Specifically, computing power, memory, and disk space have become cheaper, while bandwidth has become more expensive due to the explosion of online applications. To overcome these limitations, we have enhanced our Southwest Data Display and Analysis System (SDDAS) to take better advantage of the hardware by utilizing threads and data caching. Furthermore, the system was enhanced to support a framework for adding data formats and data visualization methods without costly rewrites. Visualization tools can speed analysis of many common scientific tasks and we will present a suite of tools that encompass the entire process of retrieving data from multiple data stores to common visualizations of the data. The goals for the end user are ease of use and interactivity with the data and the resulting plots. The data can be simultaneously plotted in a variety of formats and/or time and spatial resolutions. The software will allow one to slice and separate data to achieve other visualizations. Furthermore, one can interact with the data using the GUI or through an embedded language based on the Lua scripting language. The data presented will be primarily from the Cluster and Mars Express missions; however, the tools are data type agnostic and can be used for virtually any type of data.
