Overview of DIVE
The DIVE application consists of a dataset selection component and a data visualisation component.
The Data Selection dialog allows you to select the variables of interest. These variables can be selected
from multiple datasets. Once the variables of interest are selected and submitted, they are plotted on the
data visualisation window.
5.1. Dataset Selection
When DIVE is first run you are presented with a window for selecting datasets. This is known as the
Data Selection dialog which is shown in Figure 1.

On the left hand side you will see a tab “File Explorer” for directly opening files from your computer.
Depending on how DIVE is configured, you may also have access to a data repository and there will be
“Repository Explorer” tab for this purpose.
