Exporting Data

Once you have added intervalsandanalyzedyourdata,youcanexportthe

retrieved raw data or statistical results to a text file that can be easily loaded into

Microsoft Excel, FAST, or a database program of your choice.

There are three types of export files that can be created using Actiware:

Standard Individual Export File

This is a comma delimited ASCII text file (.csv) that can be opened directly by

Microsoft Excel. It contains the data and analysis results for one analysis.

To create this file, click File > Export menu or click the button on the

Standard toolbar. You will be prompted for a file name using the standard

Windows dialog box.

Note: The contents of the export le can be customized using the Tools >

Options window. Use the Statistics, Data List and Export tabs to select

what content you would like in the export le.

Instead of creating a file, you can copy the file contents directly to the Windows

clipboard by clicking Copy > Export Text. Then paste into your program of

choice using the Clipboard paste function (commonly CTRL + V keyboard

hotkey).

FAST™ Export File

This is a tab delimited ASCII text file (.txt) designed specifically for importing

into the Fatigue Avoidance Scheduling Tool™ Software. A short header, sleep/

wake scores, and per epoch time stamps for the currently selected analysis are

included in this export file.

To create this file, click File > FAST Export. You will be prompted for a file

name using the standard Windows dialog box.
