| 11 | The data explorer |
---|
| 12 | ----------------- |
---|
| 13 | |
---|
| 14 | *Data Explorer* is a panel that allows the user more interactions with data. |
---|
| 15 | Some functionalities provided by the *Data Explorer* are also available through |
---|
| 16 | the context menu of plot panels or other menus within the application. |
---|
| 17 | |
---|
| 18 | Under *View* in the menu bar, *Data Explorer* can be toggled between Show and |
---|
| 19 | Hide by clicking *Show/Hide Data Explorer*. |
---|
| 20 | |
---|
| 21 | *NOTE! When* Data Explorer *is hidden, all data loaded will be sent directly |
---|
| 22 | to the current active analysis perspective, if possible. When* Data Explorer *is |
---|
| 23 | shown, data go first to the* Data Explorer. |

| 27 | Loading data |
---|
| 28 | ------------ |
---|
| 29 | |
---|
| 30 | To load data, do one of the following: |
---|
| 31 | |
---|
| 32 | Select File -> Load Data File(s), and navigate to your data; |
---|
| 33 | |
---|
| 34 | Select File -> Load Data Folder, which will attempt to load all the data in the |
---|
| 35 | specified folder; |
---|
| 36 | |
---|
| 37 | Or, in the *Data Explorer* click the button *Load Data*, then select one or more |
---|
| 38 | (by holding down the Ctrl key) files to load into SasView. |
---|
| 39 | |
---|
| 40 | The name of each loaded file will be listed in the *Data Explorer*. Clicking the |
---|
| 41 | *+* symbol alongside will display any available metadata read from the file. |

| 45 | The handy menu |
---|
| 46 | -------------- |
---|
| 47 | |
---|
| 48 | Right-clicking on a loaded dataset (or model calculation, what SasView calls a |
---|
| 49 | 'theory') brings up a *Handy Menu* from which it is possible to access *Data Info*, |
---|
| 50 | *Save* the data/theory, or *Plot* the data/theory. |

| 56 | Activating data |
---|
| 57 | --------------- |
---|
| 58 | |
---|
| 59 | To interact with data it must be activated. This is accomplished by checking |
---|
| 60 | the box next to the file name in the *Data Explorer*. A green tick will appear. |
---|
| 61 | |
---|
| 62 | Unchecking/unticking a box deactivates that data set. |
---|
| 63 | |
---|
| 64 | There is also a combo box labeled *Selection Options* from which you can |
---|
| 65 | activate or deactivate multiple data sets in one go. |

---|
| 70 | ------------- |
---|
| 71 | |
---|
| 72 | *WARNING!* Remove Data *will stop any data operations currently using the |
---|
| 73 | selected data sets.* |
---|
| 74 | |
---|

---|
| 80 | ------------------- |
---|
| 81 | |
---|
| 82 | Click on the *New Plot* button to create a new plot panel where the currently |
---|
| 83 | selected data will be plotted. |

| 87 | Appending plots to a graph |
---|
| 88 | -------------------------- |
---|
| 89 | |
---|
| 90 | This operation can currently only be performed on 1D data and plot panels |
---|
| 91 | containing 1D data. |
---|
| 92 | |
---|
| 93 | Click on the button *Append Plot To* to add selected data to a plot panel. Next |
---|
| 94 | to the button is a combo box containing the names of available plot panels. |
---|
| 95 | Selecting a name from this combo box will move that plot into focus. |
---|
| 96 | |
---|
| 97 | If a plot panel is not available, the combo box and button will be |
---|
| 98 | disabled. |
---|
| 99 | |
---|
| 100 | 2D Data cannot be appended to any plot panels. |

| 104 | Freezing the theory |
---|
| 105 | ------------------- |
---|
| 106 | |
---|
| 107 | The *Freeze Theory* button generates data from the selected theory. |
---|
| 108 | |
---|
| 109 | *NOTE! This operation can only be performed when theory labels are selected in* |
---|
| 110 | *the Data panel.* |

---|
| 115 | ---------------------------- |
---|
| 116 | |
---|
| 117 | Click on the *Send To* button to send the currently selected data to one of the |
---|
| 118 | perspectives (for *Fitting*, *P(r) Inversion*, or *Invariant* calculation). |
---|
| 119 | |
---|
| 120 | The *Single*/*Batch* mode radio buttons only apply to the *Fitting* perspective. |
---|
| 121 | |
---|
| 122 | *Batch mode* provides serial (batch) fitting with one model function, that is, |
---|
| 123 | fitting one data set followed by another. If several data sets need to be |
---|
| 124 | fitted at the same time, use *Simultaneous* fitting under the *Fitting* |
---|
| 125 | option on the menu bar. |
