What can we do now with this data?

First of all we can print the current page. Just click the Print button and the same page (with white background, to be "printer friendly") will appear. You can select different print options and click the Print button in this menu to print the data.

Reports

The next step is to export the data to other applications. DEWESoft is intended to be an acquisition application, thus for advanced analysis we can use other post processing applications. This can be done by selecting the Export button . We can then choose to export the data to MS Excel or Flexpro. The user can even choose the script - which actually means the measurement reports. We can also choose File export and have a vast choice of post processing applications, but for this example, there is only the data file.

It is important to note that in this example we will export only a zoomed region. If we have MS Excel installed on the computer, it is not very wise to choose too much data for trying this feature, since Excel can't really handle much data. For larger data files, it is recommended to use Flexpro or Matlab.

Export

Another interesting option is to make a video of the screen as it is replayed. We can do this by selecting the menu item Edit → Export screen to AVI. This will actually produce the video file like it would be played on the DEWESoft screen.

This is a short overview of what can be done with very basic hardware. There are many possibilities about what can be done with professional equipment. The measurement tutorials will demonstrate how to perform real measurements.
