Saving data

Last updated for: Version 1.5.3.15

Measurement data

SweepMe! stores all measurement data that is created during a run in the folder 'temp' of your SweepMe! installation. Each file starts with "temp_". Upon clicking 'Save data', this string is replaced by the file name given in the 'Measurement'-tab. Subsequently, the data is copied to a folder of a name as defined in the 'Measurement'-tab as well. This folder will be created inside your user/profile folder of the public measurement folder.

Your data can then be found here:

<public user>\SweepMe!\Measurement data\<user/profile>\<given folder name>

where

• <public user> is the public user of the operating system,
• <user/profile> the name of your selected user or profile, and
• <given folder name> is the folder name that was given in the 'Measurement'-tab.

The file creation can be controlled via the Module MakeFile.

Modifications

• You can change the measurement folder via File -> Options -> Paths
• You can create subfolders by using folder names with backslashes, e.g.: "folder\subfolder1\subfolder2"

Data files

SweepMe! puts 0-dimensional (0D) data in one file, for example all Strings, Integer, or Float values are put into the main data file where also the elapsed time and a timestamp are stored. Variables that contain 1-dimensional (1D) data like lists or arrays are saved to separate files where a new file is created for each iteration of the sequencer procedure.

Please check the module MakeFile to learn more about how you can adapt the file creation.
