6.3.0 Analyzing Multiple Test Runs
A multi-run analysis is a collection of analysis runs. The runs can be based on different specimens and
analysis definitions. The test runs may be from multiple tests, but the test runs must reside in the same test
and the same test for analysis.
The analyst has the responsibility to be aware of data characteristics. The application does not distinguish
or compensate for differences in analysis or test definitions.
When you create an analysis set, you get two tables, a New Variable Table for Multiple Runs and a New
Variable-Column Table for Multiple Runs.
6.3.1.0 Multiple Test Runs Overview
Determine if all the test runs you want to analyze exist in the same test or are from different tests.
If all the test runs that you want to analyze are in the same test, follow the procedure detailed in Analyze
Multiple Test Runs on page 58.
If you have a test file that contains test runs that you want to analyze with test runs from another test, use
the following procedure.
1. Export the test runs to a test file.
You can export the test runs in the Fatigue Analyzer application or the Multipurpose Elite application.
2. Import the exported test runs to the test file that will contain all the test runs that you want to analyze.
3. Open the test in the Fatigue Analyzer application.
4. Use the Analyze Multiple Test Runs procedure to simultaneously analyze all the test runs of interest.
