Video Transcript: Quickly Analyze Data with Offline Processing
In SoundCheck, there might be times where you want to further process data that’s already captured. This could be from a sequence run or even data that was acquired on a completely different computer.
For example, in this sequence here,I ran an acquisition and got a frequency response with a time selective response. I might want to change some settings, and I might want to manipulate this data further. I could go into my analysis step and make changes, or drag in additional post-processing. But if I’m just trying to investigate, I might not want to change the sequence that I’ve been using.
Here we can use the Offline menu. This lets us run any step in SoundCheck, but instead of in a sequence, we just run it manually.
So when I open up Offline Analysis, I can choose any step templates that are available in my Sequence Editor. Lets choose Time Selective Response analysis, and it opens up the editor.
Now I can manually manipulate this, choose whatever settings I want, and then when I apply these settings, it will create protected data in my memory list with these settings. So here, I’ll configure my step, and pick my stimulus and response waveform. Now let’s say I want to see how this would look with a different windowing time. I just type in the new value here, click Apply, and this data is populated to my memory list as protected data.
I can view this alongside the measured data in my sequence to see what the changes would be. And I can keep doing this— every time I make a change and click Apply, I’m going to get additional protected data. It’ll be added to the memory list, and I can go through, quickly view these, and see which setting I want.
This is also useful for additional processing. If I close this step, I can delete the data I captured over here from the memory list, and I can process this curve further. Instead of changing a step that I already ran in the sequence, I can add in a completely new step.
For example, If I want to see the maximum value on this curve, I can open up a Post-Processing step… look look at the Maximum template…. choose my Fundamental, and when I click Apply, it’s added to my memory list, and I can view it on this table here.
The Offline menu gives a very quick and easy way to add new measurements and further process your data from a single menu without needing to write an entire sequence.
