3.2.20.2 Export functions
The data displayed in the form of graphs in the analysis window can be exported to a Txt or Xml file. Clicking
on the heading Export… from the File menu opens the data export window.
The top of this window is composed of the controls for selecting the file in which to save the data. Clicking
Browse opens a window in which it is possible to specify the path, name and type of file for saving the data.
There are two types of file which can be exported : Txt and Xml. The first allows the user to view the data
quickly while the second is useful as, being a standard format, it may later be imported for use by other
software.
The part of the window immediately below, on the other hand, provides the controls for selecting the
channels to export. The channels available on the list are only those displayed on the current tab of the
analysis window. In order to enable a channel for export, click on the corresponding selection control in the
Export column so that a tick appears. To ensure that the channel is not exported, click on the same control
to erase the tick
The next column, called Hertz, provides an indication of the frequency at which the channels have been
acquired (sampling frequency). In the next column, called Output frequency limit [Hz], it is possible to
specify a frequency limit at which each individual channel is exported. This means that if, for example, a
channel is sampled at 100Hz (100 times a second), it is possible to set a frequency limit of 50Hz so that the
values are exported at half the base frequency.
The control located at the bottom of the window, called Time interval, allows the user to specify whether to
export the data relative to the whole session in use, or whether to export only the data belonging to the
display interval in the analysis window.
Once the file for export has been selected, the channels have been set and the time interval has been
chosen, click on OK to begin the export procedure. A message will be displayed when the procedure has
finished.
3.2.20.3 Converting an sxr file
The sxr file conversion function allows the user to open a file with a .sxraw extension (GET acquisition
device raw data format) and to save it in the format compatible with the MX2 software.
This function normally takes place when the data is being downloaded from the instrument (see chapter 4.2
of this manual) and, unless there are any particular conditions, it is never requested from the user.
