Data analysis
The measuring data is stored in an open source, tab separated text format, which
makes adapting and importing the data easy. See chapter 5.5.3 on page 32 for a
detailed description of the file format. It can also be analysed with a spread sheet
program like MS Excel.
Zehntner
provides a free software called “MappingTools” for easy and quick data
analysis. Please refer to the separate “MappingTools” instruction manual for more
information.
For RetroGrabber Versions 3.0.x and 3.1.x the following steps must be taken
in order to import
the measuring file into the “MappingTools” software Version
1.25 or older.
Go to “
Settings
– General
” and press the button labelled “
Convert to old
format
” on the right side.
Choose the appropriate ZDR 6020
measuring file “
xxx.xls
” from the explorer
window.
Now there are three files called
xxx_converted_1.xls, xxx_
converted
_2.xls
and
xxx_converted_3.xls
which can be imported in the “MappingTools”
software.
The new version of “MappingTools” (1.26 and higher) can import all ZDR 6020
measuring files without prior conversion.
