8... POST-PROCESSING OF COLLECTED DATA

OVERVIEW

Once data has been collected by the OMP-MODL and downloaded to a OMP-MODL Download file on the PC, a number of powerful data analysis and viewing options are available from within HyperWare. (See HyperComm, Chapter 5 for details on downloading data from the OMP-MODL).

The Post-Processing window within HyperWare provides the capability to `post- process’ (ie process after collection) data in the following ways:

♦Graphically plot collected data using HyperPlot

♦Merge data from separate logging sessions into a single file for Before and After type performance comparisons

♦Save HyperPlot graphs to bitmap (*.BMP) files allowing seamless inclusion into other Windows applications such as wordprocessors and spreadsheets

♦Convert collected data into an Excel Version 4 (*.XLS) file

♦Convert collected data into a date/time annotated ASCII (*.TXT) file

♦Algebraically manipulate collected data and save to a new OMP-MODL Download, Excel, or text file.

HyperPlot is a powerful graphing module included in HyperWare that can be used for immediate plotting of collected data.

File conversions and algebraic manipulation of collected data are handled by constructing a Post-Processing Net which converts downloaded data from a OMP- MODL Download file to another User defined file/format.

POST-PROCESSING NETS

Post-Processing Nets provide a means to convert OMP-MODL Download files to various formats and, if desired, perform additional algebraic processing of collected data as it is converted to the new file format.
