I would like to start by saying that the DMS system does not, by itself, make movies. What VIZ lets you do is to scroll through parameters, so you can easily plot whatever you measured as a function of, say, temperature and frequency, and drag a cursor on a control to change, say, the AC value and the surface updates more or less instantly. In fact on every PC I've tried, it's so fast that you can see what amounts to a movie by sliding a cursor back and forth at a measured pace. I encourage you to download VIZ and some of the examples, install it on your PC, and see for yourself. The movies on this page were made by doing just that and saving a picture at each of the different values of the fixed parameters.
I really like the following movies, in part because they were a total surprise and in part because they are so revealing about how subtle mother nature can be when it comes to multidimensional (multispectral) phenomena. And, not coincidentally, they demonstrate what makes this system different from any other I know about. I was just testing a commercial temperature stage (which wasn't working right) and collected a file of C and D (dielectric constant and loss using an LCR meter) as a function of temperature, frequency, AC field, and DC bias. If you look at the first movie you see exactly what you expect to see and exactly what other measurement systems would show you, pretty, but ordinary, surfaces of C and D as a function of temperature and frequency. The various AC and DC levels animate the movie. You can even see the scroll bar at the top of the picture moving back and forth over the AC and DC levels. If you watch the movie you will come to the conclusion that the sample has no interesting behaviour with respect to field. It's perfectly obvious that the surface changes trivially or not at all with respect to field.

And you would be entirely wrong. The second movie makes fools of us all. It was made from exactly the same measurement, the same data, just using VIZ to express it (mathematically speaking, project it) differently. The second movie is made from graphing C&D as a function of the AC and DC fields then animating the movie by sweeping temperature and frequency. So far, no materials scientist I have shown this to was prepared to explain this behaviour. The flapping motion is almost hypnotic and entirely unexplained. And the capacitance should not go down as a function of AC field then go back up, as it does. Although I would prefer not to describe it in detail, this was an ordinary material, commonly studied and used. I will mention again, I wasn't looking for anything specific when I made that measurement, just testing the controller, and I stumbled on this.
