PeakTDM FileFocus

The Fastest Way to Turn Test & Measurement Files Into AI‑Ready Data

Peak Test Data Manager (PeakTDM) FileFocus is the fastest way to transform your scattered test and measurement files into a unified, searchable, AI-ready data platform - without disrupting your existing toolchains.

Quick Start Guide

The guide helps you get started with PeakTDM FileFocus.

Requirements

PeakTDM FileFocus is delivered as a Docker container and requires a working Docker runtime. On Windows, install Docker Desktop¹.

Log in to the Peak Solution Docker Image Repository²:

docker login https://docker.peak-solution.de

ℹ️ If Docker containers cannot be used in your organization, please contact Peak Solution for alternatives.

Install and Start PeakTDM FileFocus

Clone or download this repository. If downloaded as a ZIP, extract the archive to a local folder.

Open a terminal(cmd) and navigate to the repository folder and start the FileFocus environment:

docker compose up -d

Your PeakTDM FileFocus instance is now up and running.

Usage and Examples

Verify the installation

By default PeakTDM FileFocus runs on port 15000.

Copy the following URL into your browser to access the PeakTDM FileFocus Web UI:

👉 http://localhost:15000

You can now:

• Use PeakTDM Test Data Workplace for interactive data exploration

• Use Jupyter Notebooks for programmatic access via Python

Add some example files:

docker compose --profile examples up example-data
docker compose --profile examples down example-data

or copy your own data files to the ./datafolder in your installation directory.

Configure PeakTDM FileFocus

Copy the .env.example file to .env, open it in a text editor and adjust the values according to your setup.

Set the DATAFOLDER variable to the absolute path of your data files to index your specific file location. To apply the configuration settings, restart the PeakTDM FileFocus environment by executing the following commands:

docker compose down -v

and then

docker compose up -d

⚠️ Note: Docker on Windows cannot use UNC paths directly - you need to use the cifs driver for network shares. See .env.example file for examples.

Import Your Own Data Files

PeakTDM FileFocus can deal with almost any measurement file format. In case your file format is not supported yet, you can develop your own ExD data plugin.

Python API

Access your data programmatically via Python using Peak ASAM ODSBox - a thin wrapper around the PeakTDM FileFocus HTTP(S)-APIs.
