Dyno DataMite Analyzer
Chapter 3 Output
3.2 ASCII Data Files (Pro version only)
You may want to use the results from the Dyno DataMite Analyzer in
other software packages. This could be for additional graph
capabilities, statistical analysis, data basing, etc. Once you have
created a report (as shown in Section 3.1), click on File to write the
results to an ASCII file with a name of your choosing. The ASCII File
command is possible any time a report is displayed on the screen.
Figure 3.10 ASCII Files Options Menu
Click on File from
Report Screen for
ASCII File menu.
You can only save the results currently displayed on the Report screen.
If you want to write an ASCII file of a test file you have previously run,
you must open that test file first, then create a report for that test file.
ASCII File Options
Comma Separated
Select this option to insert commas between data points. Leave this
unchecked for data to be arranged in evenly spaced columns.
Include Text
Select this option to strip out all titles and letters, leaving only
numbers.
Convert to Columns
If you do not select this option, data will be written to the file much like it is displayed in the report on the screen. Select this
option to have the report turned on its side, that is, the rows will become columns and the columns will become rows.
File Name
Enter a file name for saving this ASCII file. Checks are made to ensure what you enter is a valid file name and that you are not
overwriting an existing file. The file is written to the Dyno DataMite Analyzer folder (directory), the folder which contains the
DTM.EXE program file.
There are certain limitations for file names, including:
•
Names can only be 11 characters long.
•
Names can not contain certain characters, like commas (,), plus signs (+), or spaces ( ). The program will warn you if
you use an illegal character.
•
Only 1 period (.) can be used and it can only be toward the end of the file name. The program will warn you if you use
a period in the wrong spot.
See Section 3.5 for more details on file names.
