Importing a Data Variable

This dialog is intended for the case where a data variable with the correct format already exists in the workspace.

The correct data variable format is a matrix whose first column(s) is the output signal(s) and next column(s) is the input signal(s).

Enter the data variable name in the top edit box.

Also enter Number of outputs:, Starting time:, and Sampling interval: in their respective edit boxes.

Enter any text into the Notes: edit box. The notes will remain associated with the data and any models which are estimated from it.

Press Import to enter the data set into the ident Data board.

Press Reset to return all edit boxes to their default values.

Note: If a variable of the name `z1_info` exists in the workspace together with the data set `z1`, it will be displayed in the Notes: box and inserted along with `z1`. Such an information variable will always exist if the data set was once exported from ident. You can use this to manipulate data in the workspace and import it back to ident without losing information:
Export data set `zzz` from ident by dropping it over the To Workspace icon. Do the following as MATLAB commands:
`zznew = min(zzz,10*ones(size(zzz)));
zznew_info = str2mat(zzz_info,'zznew = min(zzz,10*ones(size(zzz)))');
` As you now enter the variable name `zznew` in the top edit box of the Import Data Variable dialog, and press the return key, all relevant information and diary will be autmatically be added.
