Export Data And Results

Main Procedure

To find out if your independent variables (like treatment, dose, etc.) have a significant effect on the dependent variables, you can export your data to a statistical package.

• To export the averages, totals etc. per trial, or per group of trials, choose Analysis > Export > Statistics.
• To export the raw x,y coordinates and the surface area of the subject, or the per-sample values of the dependent variables, choose Analysis > Export > Raw Data.

For details, see File Management > Export data in the EthoVision XT Help.

Copy Entire Experiments

To make a copy of an entire experiment, choose File > Make Backup. Choose the options you require and select OK.

The backup file (*.evz) contains all your settings and data, and optionally media files, exported files and physiological data. You can copy this file to another computer where EthoVision XT is installed. To open the experiment on that computer, choose File > Restore Backup.

Important: Backup your data to a network drive or external hard disk at least once per day.
