Polygon’s data bar and select “Paste Special” from the shortcut menu. Type in the desired name
for the data object in the dialog, the desired time base and the unit, hit OK and Polygon will
create a brand new data object which will contain the copied data. The data object will be either
a one-dimensional time series or a vector (3-dimensional) time series, depending on how many
columns were copied from Excel.
If you would like to add a new tree node to accommodate the data, this is also possible. The
“Data” menu on the main menu bar contains the option “Add Tree Node”. If you choose this, a
dialog will appear allowing you to select both the name and the type of the new tree node.
If you choose a new tree node of type “File”, the node will always appear at the top level of the
data tree hierarchy. However, any other type of tree node will appear as a child of the currently
highlighted node.
5.7 Averaging data
You can average data with Polygon. The menu item for doing this is found under the “Data”
menu, and is called “Average”.
Selecting this option will bring up a dialog box:
Figure 22 : Average Data Dialog
The dialog box has two main lists - the left list contains the files that are available for averaging
and the right list contains the files that have been selected in the currently selected average node.
An average node is basically a node which has been generated by averaging several data files. If
there are none in your data tree, you will have to create an empty one, which is done by pressing
