Export data

The Export Data command allows you to export step activity data to a tab-delimited spreadsheet format. The data can come from an opened file, imported file, opened database record, or can be just read from the StepWatch.

The first 27 rows of the exported file contain the StepWatch set up and recording information. 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 raw step data starts at row 28 and is divided into columns by day. The first column is time. You may use these files to perform custom analyses.

If you are wanting to share data via email, the most reliable method is to export your data into spreadsheet format, and attach it to your email correspondence. The recipient can then import the data and save it in the native StepWatch format or as a database record.
