It can be saved to a standard text (.txt) file, or it can be saved to a comma-separated values (.csv) file,
which greatly simplifies the process of importing the data into some spreadsheet programs such as
Excel
®
or Quattro Pro
®
.
Printing Data
To print the contents of the data window, click the Print button. A print dialog box will be displayed to
allow printer selection and setup.
Charting Data
To chart the contents of the data window, click the Chart Data button. If the data has not yet been
saved, the user will be prompted to do so before the charting process begins. For more information on
charting data, see the Data Analysis section.
Data Analysis
The Data Analysis utility is a convenient tool for charting data from Metal Samples ER and LPR data
logger instruments. The Data Analysis utility can be opened from the Main Menu, or it can be opened
directly from the Instrument Download Center.
If the Data Analysis utility is opened from the Instrument Download Center, the contents of the data
window will be loaded into the chart. However, if the Data Analysis utility is opened directly from the
Main Menu, a valid data file must be loaded. The Select File box will open to allow selection of a data
file.
