Importing Data

Enter valid MATLAB expressions in the Input: and Output: edit boxes. The expressions should evaluate to either a column vector or a matrix.

A valid expression is, for example,
`[temp(234:500) current(234:500).^2]`
where `temp` and `current` are column vector variables in the MATLAB workspace.

Optionally enter any string in the Data name: edit box. The data set will be labeled with the name in the ident window. If Starting time: and Sampling interval: information are supplied, the time and frequency scales of various Views will be affected accordingly.

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.

If you have a variable in the workspace that already has the correct data format (e.g., saved from previous work) it is more efficient to use the Import Data Variable dialog. This is opened by typing the hotkey d in the ident window.
