Data Track Editor

The Data Track Editor is part of the Analytics Data Scout. It can be used to view data, merge data from different sources and to cut out parts of the data or whole symbols.

Create

A new track editor can be added to an Analytics Data Scout by clicking New Data Track Editor in the context menu of a Data Scout project.

Structure

Data Track Editor 2:
  1. Tracks represent the symbolism and data in the Data Track Editor.
  2. The Chart is used to visualize the data lying in the tracks as graphs.
  3. The toolbar contains functions, for example, to change the displayed area or to eliminate areas.

To export the Data Track Editor 3: button must be clicked.

Timeline

As different sources can be added in the Track Editor, new times are assigned. The start time and the cycle time can be set in the Timeline Options. These times are used in the export and in the chart. The start and cycle time of the first added source will be taken over if they have not been set yet.

Data Track Editor 4:

The end time is calculated automatically, using the track with the fewest samples.

Time Tracks

In order not to lose the original times of the sources, Time Tracks can be generated. How these are generated can be set in the Timeline Options. There are three variants for generating Time Tracks. The Time Tracks can be generated as visible tracks, and all of them are combined in one container. The second variant is to generate the Time Tracks in the same way, but they and the container they are in are not displayed in the editor. The last variant is not to create any Time Tracks and to discard the original times when exporting.

Data Track Editor 5:

The Time Track generation works via the data elements of the tracks. For each combination of data items there is a Time Track. Only the time range and the source are considered, but not the symbols of the data elements.

In the example display, the Time Tracks were generated visibly. Three were automatically created because three combinations were found in the tracks above. On the one hand the track with one blue data element, on the other hand a track with two green data elements and three more tracks with one green data element.

Time Tracks are structured like Single Tracks. They can contain data items, but these data items have no symbols, only a time range and a source.
