applications. When you export a worksheet in this format you will create a
*.wstar
file. This file can be imported back into a STAR application.
Common uses for the *.wstar Export/Import include exporting a worksheet so that
it can be sent to another computer running the STAR application, and exporting a
worksheet for archiving in a backup.
Raw File CSV Export
A CSV (Comma Separated Values) raw file export provides complete sensor
measurements recorded by the device, and is designed for machine-readability. The
sections include:
Subject – subject identification
Recording Session – session start and end times
Device – model and identification
Recording Settings – sensor configuration parameters set when recording
started.
Analysis Settings – analysis parameters set when editing the worksheet
Raw Data – complete list of measurement values for each sample in the
data set. Fields that are sampled more infrequently that others are shown
with blank values when no measurement was taken at a particular time
instant.

(
*.rstar
) file format is a compressed binary format used
exclusively for archiving data or transporting data between two STAR software
applications. When you export a raw file in this format you will create a

file.
This file can be imported back into a STAR application.
One use for the *.

Export/Import is to export a raw file so that it can be sent to
another computer running the STAR application (e.g. field study sending data to a
central repository)
The *.rstar Export/Import may also be used to archive data into a long-term backup.
As the number of raw files increases, the amount of disk space occupied by the Raw
files may grow substantially. If the Raw file data is not going to be accessed
frequently again, it may be helpful to export the Raw files into separate storage, and
delete the Raw Files in the the application.
Deleting
A worksheet can be deleted by selecting one in the Worksheet list, and then
