Importing and Exporting Configurations

You can import a evaluationResults.json file. This file contains all necessary configuration information for creating a report. It is usually generated after you have run an evaluation with EATB. By default, the file is located in a subfolder in the following directory: C:\Users\UserID\.EATB\reports\evaluationResult_*\*ProjectName_internal.

You can export configurations either as *.json file or *.m file.

You can perform the following actions:

To import a configuration by using the Import button

  1. Click Import.
  2. In the Windows Explorer, navigate to the following directory:
    C:\Users\UserID\.EATB\reports\evaluationResult_*\*ProjectName_internal.
  3. Select the evaluationResults.json file.
  4. Click Open.

To import a configuration by using the Open button

  1. Click Open.

  2. In Your reports, click the download symbol behind the report that you want to import ().

    The respective configuration opens in your workspace.

    If the same configuration has been imported already, you are asked if you want to replace or append the current configuration. In the case of appending, already existing chapters are duplicated and an extended name is assigned to them.

To import configurations built with EATB versions lower than 4.1

If you have older reports that you would like to import into the Configuration Creator, then you need the original configuration files (*.m or *.eatb).

  1. Prepare a folder with the original configuration files.

  2. In EATB GUI, click New Evaluation.

    Enter the path to at least one measurement file and the path to the configuration files.

  3. Fill in the remaining mandatory fields.

  4. Click Create.
  5. Once the report is generated, go to the Configuration Creator and import the evaluationResults.json file to this report.

To export a configuration

  1. Click the Export drop-down menu.

  2. You can do one of the following:

    • Select Export to .json (Config Creator).
    • Select Export to .py (Python).

    • Select Export to .m (Matlab).

      A *.zip file is exported that contains one *.m file per section having the same name as the corresponding section. The list of signals used in your configurations is exported into the config_signals.csv file containing "signal-ID", "signal-Label", and "Device". Filters are exported into the config_filters.m file. Calculated signals are not exported into a *.m file.

  3. Save the export file. It is located at the default location where downloads are stored.

  4. Assign a file name and save the file.

    From there, you can copy the file to your desired location. The exported *.m files can be opened and edited in MATLAB.
