Export data

Download channel data from a range or a line plot as a CSV file.

The Console exports channel data as a CSV file. You can export the data of a range, of a line plot, or of a region that you select on a line plot. Each way opens the same download dialog.

Export a range

1. Open the range overview.
2. Click (Download data for followed by the range name as CSV) at the top of the overview.
3. In the dialog, select the channels to export.
4. Click Download, then choose where to save the file.

The dialog uses the start and end of the range. It has no channels selected, because a range does not hold a list of channels.

Export from a line plot

When you export from a line plot, the dialog selects the channels of the plot for you.

Whole line plot

Open the component toolbar of the line plot and click . The dialog selects the X and Y channels of the plot. Its time span covers all the ranges on the plot, and a rolling span ends at the current time.

Selected region

1. Select a region of the line plot.
2. Right-click the selection and select Download region as CSV.

The dialog uses the start and end of the selection.

Range annotation

Right-click a range annotation on the line plot and select Download as CSV. The dialog uses the start and end of that range.

Download dialog

The download dialog has these fields:

• From and To: The start and end of the data to export. Change them to export a shorter or longer period.
• Channels: The channels to export. Virtual channels are not in the list.
• Downsample factor: Keeps one sample of every N samples. It is a whole number, 1 or more. The default is 1, which keeps all samples.

Download is disabled until you select at least one channel. The end time cannot be before the start time. Press Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter on macOS) to download.

CSV format

• The first line is a header with the name of each channel.
• Synnax adds the index channel of each channel that you select. Index channels hold the timestamps.
• Timestamps are integers in nanoseconds since the Unix epoch (UTC).
• Each line holds the samples that share one timestamp. Lines are in time order.
• Channels with different index channels have different timestamp columns. A cell is empty when a channel has no sample at the timestamp of that line.
