the experimenter provided a name for the analysis, the name will appear in the Save As dialog;
otherwise, a name must be entered.
Analyses are saved in text file format with the ANL extension. These text files can be read by E-
DataAid using the Load Analysis button on the Analyze dialog. When E-DataAid saves an
analysis, it saves the configuration for the analysis, the spreadsheet’s filters, the table’s options,
and the plot options if applicable. When reloaded, E-DataAid reapplies these items. Saving an
analysis does not save the results of the analysis. To reproduce the results of an analysis, the
analysis must be reloaded and rerun.
5.3.5.5 Load an Analysis
After saving an analysis, it may be loaded for rerunning by clicking the Load Analysis button on
the Analyze dialog. The application will prompt the user for the name of the analysis file. In
addition to loading the configuration for the analysis, the application reapplies the saved filters,
table options, and plot options, if applicable. Once loaded, the analysis may be performed by
clicking the Run button on the Analyze dialog.
5.3.5.6 Batch Analysis
To run multiple pre-saved analyses, use E-DataAid’s Batch Analysis command on the Tools
menu. Within the Batch Analysis dialog, use the Add Files button to select the individual
analyses to include in the operation.
The Batch Analysis command allows the user to run a batch of analyses in rapid succession
without individually loading and running each analysis file. After selecting all analyses, click the
Excel button to create tables in Excel (shown below), or the Export button to export the tables to a
text file. If the Excel option is chosen, the individual analyses are written to separate worksheets
within the same workbook.
