This topic describes how to import data files to integrate into your analysis session.
To import data into an Analysis session:
-
Choose Tools > External Monitors > Import Data. The Import Data dialog box opens.
See Import Data dialog box for details.
-
Select the format of the external data file from the File format list box.
-
Click Add File. In the Select File to Import dialog box that opens, the Files of type list box shows the type chosen in step 2.
-
Set other file format options. You must enter a machine name.
-
To specify custom character separators and symbols, click Advanced.
-
Click Next.
-
Select the type of monitor that generated the external data file.
When opening a new graph, your monitor is added to the list of available graphs under this particular category. See Open a New Graph dialog box.
-
Click Finish. Analysis imports the data file or files, and refreshes all graphs currently displayed in the session.
Note: When importing data into a scenario with two or more cross results, the imported data will be integrated into the last set of results listed in the File > Cross with Result dialog box. For more information, see Generate merged graphs.
