Exporting Data/Results

EXPORT DATA
Raw step data may be exported into a tab-delimited spreadsheet using the "Export Data..." option from the File menu. The first 27 rows of the exported file contain the StepWatch set up and recording information. The raw step data starts at row 28 and is divided into columns by day. Row 24 indicates which data intervals were included for analysis using the convention: [include or exclude indicator]*[starting interval]*[ending interval]. The Include indicator is "i" and the Exclude indicator is "x." The counting is referenced to the datapoint for the first interval after midnight. (That interval is 1.) The first column is time. You may use these files to perform custom analyses.

EXPORT ANALYSIS RESULTS
Results of the Activity/Rate and Activity/Time analyses may be exported to a tab-delimited spreadsheet format using the "Export Analysis..." option in the File menu. The exported information includes each day's percent of time spent at different activity levels.

COPY ALL TEXT
You may copy your analysis results directly out of the StepWatch software by selecting "Copy All Text" in the Edit menu. You do not need to have any text highlighted. Results of ALL analysis measures for each day in the file will be copied regardless of whether you are in the Activity/Rate or Activity/Time screen. The information copied is just as it appears and thus includes the average but not each day's percent time at high, medium, and low activity levels. (Export Analysis does include these daily percentages.) When you are in the Summary screen, the StepWatch setup information will be copied.

After you have copied the text, simply use the paste command in another application to transfer your data into that program.

COPY GRAPH
You may copy the graphics from the Summary, Activity/Rate, and Activity/Time screens by selecting the "Copy Graph" option in the Edit menu. It will copy the graph as you see it. Then, you may paste the image into any application with compatible graphics support.
