Importing Data

Whole
sessions are loaded from disk using the File menu items.

To import a single data set directly from the MATLAB workspace, there are two variants:

  1. To create a data set from input and output signals available in the workspace, select
    IMPORT DATA>Time Domain data...
    or IMPORT DATA>Frequency Domain data...
    from the Import Data pop-up menu.
  2. If the data set already exists in the workspace as an IDDATA or IDFRD object, then import it by selecting
    IMPORT DATA>Data Object...
The Import data dialog will also be opened by pressing the hotkey d when the pointer is in the ident window. In either case a dialog box opens and asks for relevant information, such as sampling interval and time span. Notes can also be added. This information will follow the data set throughout.

Importing Models

Importing Models

Whole
sessions are loaded from disk using the File menu items.

Earlier created models in the Toolbox's IDMODEL and IDFRD formats can be imported from the MATLAB workspace using the Models pop-up menu. Also models in the Control System Toolbox's LTI model formats can be directly imported.

Ident Sessions

Ident Sessions

A session is the status of all data sets and all models on the Model/data board(s) including their diary and notes. A session can consist of an arbitrary number of extra boards (which can be opened under the Options menu in the main ident window.

Sessions are opened, closed, and saved under the main ident window's File menu.

Only one session can be open at any time. You can however merge another, previous session into the current one, using the File menu.
