Test Mode: Create Data Template
Create Data Template
mode gives you an easy way to
construct and save an empty KinAiry data file, in the
common CSV file type. This non-proprietary file type
was chosen to give you convenient access, if direct data
editing is desired. This file is most easily edited using
a program like Microsoft Excel
®
. The template file will
contain a header with identifying information about
the test, the given tracker’s default MPE coefficients,
uncertainty budget values, and a place to edit (or copy/
paste) test point data. Once populated with data, the
file may be re-opened in KinAiry to view results, check or
modify data, and be saved again.
In this mode, you are responsible for:
• Determining the number of calibration target repetitions
• Verifying the measurement units (in or mm)
• Verifying the temperature units (°F or °C)
• Selecting the tracker to be evaluated
If the tracker you wish to test is not shown in the
tracker used in test
box, add it to the list by clicking on the
My Tracker
List
icon on the toolbar or by selecting
My Tracker List
from the
Tracker
menu. To create the template, click the
Start
button. KinAiry will open a
Save
dialog in the default file folder location, with a suggested filename. You may use this
name or assign your own. Save the data file and access it with an appropriate editor to enter data.
