MTS Acumen - Manual (Page 192)

• Select a template as the default.
• Edit the template. You must have the required software application.
• Select the report format of Excel Workbook, comma-separated values, or tab delimited text.
• Select whether the report is new, overwrites an existing report, is appended to an existing worksheet,
or added as a new worksheet.
• Select the location of a saved report by either typing in the path or by clicking the toggle icon and
choosing a variable that has been defined as the report location. This can be helpful when working in
a semi-automated environment.
To create a new report template, you must be using MPE, and you must have the MTS Reporter Add-In
application (a separately licensed application) that is used along with Microsoft Excel. For more information,
see the MTS TestSuite Multipurpose Elite User Guide and the MTS TestSuite Report Add-In User Guide.
Exporting Raw Data
You can export the raw data for a test run so that you can analyze it with external software applications.
By default, the data is exported to one or more tab-delimited text files that can be opened with most external
analytical or statistical applications. Each Data Acquisition activity in the test procedure produces a
separate data export file.
1. Right-click on the required test run name, and then click Export Raw Data.
2. In the Browse for Folder window, select or create the file folder in which you want to store the data,
and then click OK.
A new folder with the name of the test run is created in the folder you select or create. The test run
folder contains the tab-delimited data export text (.txt) files. Separate text files are included for each
Data Acquisition activity in the test procedure.
If the location already contains a data file folder with the same name, the application prompts you to
overwrite the folder.
3. Click OK in the confirmation window when the export is complete.
