Raw ShapeArray data can be exported from the sensemetrics platform for conversion with Measurand's Raw2data software and visualization with Measurand's ShapeArray™ Viewer software (formerly known as SAAView) . When troubleshooting issues with ShapeArrays, exporting the raw data to send to Measurand Support is often a good first step.
Step 1 - Log Into sensemetrics and Navigate to the Data - Tables Section
Log into the sensemetrics web site. Click on the Data section and then the Tables section.
Figure 1: After login, select Data and then Tables
Step 2 - Select the Template and the Device
In the Template dropdown list, select the Measurand ShapeArray pre-defined template (1 in the figure below).
Figure 2: From the Template dropdown, select Measurand ShapeArray, then click the Select button
After you have selected the Measurand ShapeArray template, click the Select button in the Device Selected section (2 in the figure above). From the list of Available Devices, select the ShapeArray for which you wish to export raw data and ensure it appears in the Selected Devices list. Click the Done button to save your selection.

As the data is prepared for export a message indicating the progress will be displayed (Exporting sensor # of # (metric # of 4)). Once the export is complete, you will be prompted to save a Zip archive containing the data.

Step 5 - Extract the Data File in the Zip Archive and Work with Measurand Software
Once the Zip archive has been saved, a raw data file with a .dat extension can be extracted from it. This raw data file is formatted for use with Measurand's SAASuite software. The raw data can be converted to Cartesian engineering units with Raw2Data and then visualized for analysis with ShapeArray™ Viewer.
