8.4 Export Data and Results

Export the Run Data

The purpose of this export is to export the raw print information for each video frame of a run. Each row corresponds to one video frame (100 per second).

If your experiment contains one or more runs with missing or corrupt data, you get an error message when you try to export run data. Delete the runs listed in the error message and then export run data.

  1. In the Visualization or Run Statistics screen, under Trial & Run Selection, select a trial and a run.
  2. Choose File > Export > Run Data.
  3. In the Export Run Data window, you can export run data for:
    • Active run (Run#) – This exports raw data from one run to an Excel file.
    • All runs from active trial (Trial#) – This exports raw data from all runs in Trial# to an Excel file; each run is saved in a separate sheet.
    Under Output, choose the File name and export Folder.
  4. Click Open Output Folder and then Export.
