In order to convert the legacy data files, it is necessary to import them into the
database. Under the File menu select the “Import” option.
If the data file has been downloaded using the latest software, the correct directory will appear, and it will only be
necessary to change the file type to view the old-style data files.
Select (*_sl_data).
A list of available data files will be displayed. Highlight the desired file and click “Open”. After a few seconds the
file will appear at the bottom of the Explorer Table window.
If it is necessary to import data files that have already been downloaded with the old ShockLog software, change
the data directory to that of the old software data directory.
Highlight the required data file and click “Open”.
If there are a number of data files to be imported, follow the process as described above, but instead of selecting
a single file, find the first file in the list, click on the file, hold the shift key and click on the last file of interest then
release the shift key. A range of files will be highlighted and by clicking the “Open” button, all the files will be
imported. This operation can take several minutes, and the software will appear to be doing nothing until the files
begin to appear in the Explorer Table.
It is also possible to select a number of specific files using the control key to highlight the required files from
within the list. Clicking the “Open” button once the desired files have been highlighted will import the files.
A file selection window will appear.
