Data Collection

Data Collection

Your data collection history can be stored in DataSight together with the measured data.

  • Any person who has been involved in the collection of data can be entered into your database using the Person grid view.
  • The type of equipment used to capture the data can be entered into the Equipment grid view in your database.

The association of personnel and equipment with your data records will allow you to identify who captured your data, what hardware has been used to obtain your data, and then to filter your dataset by these properties.

 

Open Person from the DataSight Ribbon

  • Click Person in the Configure Group of the DataSight Ribbon. The Person grid view appears in the Main Panel listing all the personnel recorded.

 

Open Equipment from the DataSight Ribbon

  • Click Equipment in the Configure Group of the DataSight Ribbon. The Equipment grid view appears in the Main Panel listing all the equipment recorded.
