Data can be imported into PLS_Toolbox or Solo from a variety of sources using File>Import Data (or similar) menu itesm in the Workspace Browser, Analysis, and DataSet Editor windows.

Unsupported File Formats

Note: If you do not see the file type list below try the following:

  1. Export your data to a supported file type. Often this is delimited text, Excel, or SPC.
  • If data can be exported as text, some customization can be done viz ZZZ to accomodate different formatting:
  • MATHIAS add some examples here and link to text importer wiki page.
  1. Locate a community developed importer on the Matlab file exchange.
  1. Obtain a file format (specification) from the vendor. We're always happy to develop (or help develop) file importers.
  • Add some description here, we need example files and any existing code.

Common Formats

Commercial Formats

Additional import methods may be available depending on the specific purchased options and the distributor of your copy of PLS_Toolbox or Solo. See other notes below.

Notes

  • The Delimited Text File format provides a flexible way to import lots of different text file formats. For details on the format and the options available, see: Text Import Settings
  • The Experiment File import method is used to import multiple data files at once along with corresponding reference values. For more information on the Experiment File format and features, see the reference page for experimentreadr.
  • In some cases you may have to use the DataSet Editor to add additional information to your dataset. For instance, you may add labels and or axis scales after you've imported the raw data. See Key_GUIs for more information on using the DataSet Editor.
  • In cases involving n-way (multidimensional) data you man need to "build up" you dataset. More information about how to do that can be found here.

AutoImport Keywords

The following table lists keywords (aka method names) that can be used to import the corresponding file types when using Solo Scripting import commands or when using the autoimport PLS_Toolbox function.
