Exporting Tracked Data

Tracked grid point coordinates and calculated grid
strains can be exported to a .csv file. From the Export
menu, select Data Points to display the dialogue shown
on the right. The image list is automatically set to the
currently selected images in the test image list tree.
This image list can be changed by selecting new
images in the test image list tree and pressing the set
button. When exporting Strains data from Selected
Tracking Points, all four points of a grid cell need to be
selected for data from that cell to be exported.
Exported data is labeled with associated ID numbers
(grid point ID numbers for exported coordinates and
grid cell ID numbers for exported strain values). To
display ID numbers on tracking grids see Image
Tracking: The Points Display Option. In the following
example (Figure 9), grid point ID numbers are shown in
yellow and grid cell ID numbers are shown in white.
When exporting data for the selected points as shown
in red, coordinates are exported for points with ID
numbers 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12, and strains are
exported for grid cells with ID numbers 4, 5, and 6.
The exported .csv file is written to the test directory.
