5. Select the Files as you want to Convert.
In the example we only have one file available (
data_gg.iot ).
6. Enter the Target Directory Path.
In the Target Directory textbox, type the path of the directory that you want to use as the parent directory of the
converted data. Note that you can press the Browse button to navigate to the target directory instead of typing it.
In the example above we used: C:\WINDOWS\TEST_Save\
The converted data files will be placed in a sub-directory named "DIAdem". Thus the complete path for our saved
data is:
C:\WINDOWS\TEST_Save\DIAdem\data_gg.DAT
7. Press the Convert Button (in the Select Files to Convert box).
This action starts the file conversion and displays a progress meter.
After the DIAdem format file has been created, we can load our acquired data into DIAdem as discussed in the
following section.
(C) Load the Converted File into DIAdem
(these steps are not exclusive to ChartView and can be applied to other acquisition programs)
If you do not already have DIAdem open, launch the program from a desktop shortcut (if applicable), or by
navigating from the PC desktop as follows:
Start
⇒ Programs ⇒ DIAdem ⇒ DIAdem
1. Click the DIAdem-DATA: Data Management button.
2. Click Load Data. A Load Data box appears.
3. Using the Load Data window, locate your DIAdem
target file and highlight its name.
In the example we have highlighted daqv.DAT.
Note: We reached this target file by navigating as shown in
steps A through E (below).
We used the Target Directory path we created earlier
C:\WINDOWS\TEST_Save\
The complete path for our saved data was
C:\WINDOWS\TEST_Save\DIAdem\data_gg.DAT
Note: DIAdem data files always have a "DAT" file
extension. The file name itself will match the name of
the raw binary file you converted.
If you need help finding a target directory path, see the
related tip on
page 3 ; or consult your application’s
users manual, if needed.
