Closed Help

Data Preview

This area displays a plot of the selected channel of the selected import data file over time (dynamic data).

Format Configuration (data-dependent)

This area is visible only if the File > Format Configuration menu option is marked. It can be used to provide and store information on the table to be imported.

drop-down list

Select a format configuration.
New/Rename

Creates a new format configuration or renames a selected existing configuration.
Delete

Deletes the currently selected format configuration.
Use as default checkbox
Header row field: Number of the row that contains the column headers, i.e. the channel names.
Unit row field: Number of the row that contains the channel units.
First data row field: Number of the first row that contains channel data.

Available Channels

This area contains the following elements:

a search field

Case-insensitive search pattern with wildcards:
- * matches any character
- ^ matches the beginning of the name
- $ matches the end of the name
a list of all channels that can be imported
Sort List Alphabetically checkbox
Plot Selected

A window opens that displays a certain type of plot, depending on the number of selected channels. See also Displaying the Measurement Data.

Inputs >/Outputs >

Adds selected data channels from Available Channels to Inputs/Outputs.

Note
You can also use <Ctrl+I>/<Ctrl+O> or double-click a data channel.

Remove f

Removes selected data channels from Inputs/Outputs.

Note
You can also use <Ctrl+R> or double-click an input/output.

Inputs

A list of all input channels selected for import. Use the and buttons to sort the list.

Outputs

A list of all output channels selected for import. Use the and buttons to sort the list.
Sort List Alphabetically option (for Inputs and Outputs)
Plot Selected

A window opens that displays the plot of selected Inputs and Outputs.

Time Base settings (data-dependent)

If not all data is to be used and the data import is to be limited, a section of data can be selected.

Start Time [s]: select the start time of the data to be imported.
End Time [s]: select the end time of the data to be imported.
Common sample Time [s]: enter resampling time (step width) for all selected channels.
Resampling Method defines transforming method for data at given time points to a uniform time basis. Choose one of the methods.
- Linear Interpolation: used for a linear interpolation between two points.
- Adaptive Window: used for resampling in an adaptive window size.
- Adaptive Window and keep Missing Data: used to preserve missing data as NaN.
- Zero-order Hold: used for discrete signals to preserve discrete values.

Split Datasets (data-dependend)

Split on NaN: To split the dataset on NaN values into multiple datasets, activate the checkbox.
Minimal interval length [s]: Splitted datasets that are shorter than the inserted value are skipped.

Other Settings (data-dependent)

Modification Mode
- Add: data is added to the current data.
- Replace: current data is replaced by the imported data.
Dataset Name

You can edit the dataset name using the input field.
Dataset Labels

Assign labels to your dataset. The Training label is set by default.

To create a new label, click in the field and type a name. Press Enter to confirm the name and create the label. Use the x next to a label name to delete the label.

You can edit the labels later in the Manage Datasets window.
Add Anomaly Detection Channel to outputs checkbox. Import data without an output channel or add an anomaly detection channel to your project(see Add Output for Anomaly Detection and Model Configurations: Anomaly Detection (PCA)).

Import

Starts the import and closes the window.

Cancel

Discards your settings and closes the window.
