The “PRINT GRAPH” button" creates a PDF document with a "Screen Dump" of the current
graph.
This document is created "On Demand" and can be useful if printed documentation of
a test graph is required.
Note that this document also includes the date and time when the "Screen Dump" was
created, e.g. 2012-12-11 11:30:38.
Also note that the document is stored in the folder specified on the "ARCHIVE AND
EXPORT SETTINGS" screen during the test configuration.
The “EXPORT DATA” button creates a CSV (comma delimited file) that contains the Raw
Graph Data in 4 columns to allow the graph to be recreated in Excel etc.
The data columns are: -
Time, Load, Machine Extension and Extension if a Preload was not used.
OR
Time, Load, Machine Extension and Extension from Preload if a Preload was used.
The CSV file is stored in the folder specified on the "ARCHIVE AND EXPORT SETTINGS"
screen during the test configuration.
The CSV file is saved with an automatic filename which consists of the “Test Name”, the
“Run Number” and a “Date/Time” stamp which is the Date/Time when the file was created,
e.g.
Rubber_Band_1_2012-12-11_12-09-05.csv
Note that the Date/Time stamp is NOT the Date/Time when the test was performed.
This CSV file is created "On Demand" and can be useful if it is required to analyze the
graph trace using Excel etc.
