A high level overview of the Data & Analysis module.

Updated this week

The Data and Analysis module is a tool for storage, visualization, and analysis of time series data allowing you to keep your data close to your procedures.

Importing Data from .csv

Click the 3 dot menu next to Uploaded Files and select Import Data.

Select a file to upload. Ensure the .csv file follows the format shown in the window.

Importing Data from the Telemetry API

If you are running a procedure with a Telemetry floating point value, such as latitude and longitude readings, you can view the plotted data from the API by clicking on the blue chart icon in the step.

This opens up a small plot within the step. Hover over plot points to see timestamps.


Click the magnifying glass icon to open a larger plot.

Visit this page to see how you can add Telemetry data to a Step.

Charting Data

Data sequences are stored in channels.

Clicking multiple channels will plot them all in the charting view. You can switch between an Overlay View or Stacked View.

The Overlay View will display all selected channels overlayed into a single chart.

The Stacked View will display each selected channel in it's own chart.

Deselect the channel to remove it from the displayed chart.

Click on a channel to toggle it off from the display.

Use the Multi Y-Axis checkbox to enable or disable multiple Y-Axis displays. This is especially helpful if the selected channels are in significantly different ranges.

Zoom, Pan, and Annotate:

With the magnifying glassselected the chart is in Zoom mode. Pinch to Zoom and Scroll wheels both work to zoom in and out in the chart. You can also click and drag to highlight an area to zoom in and click the Reset Zoom button to return to default.

With the left and right arrowselected the chart is in Pan mode. In Pan mode, the scroll wheel will still zoom in and out, but now clicking and dragging in the chart will allow you to pan back and forth to different sections. You are not able to highlight an area to zoom while in Pan mode.

With the chat bubbleselected the chart is in Annotate mode. This mode allows you to make annotations to different data points. In Annotate mode, the scroll wheel will still zoom in and out, but left clicking will allow you to add an annotation to the data point you are hovering over.

Annotations will display as a dotted grey line.

Click on the grey line to view the annotation.

You can also disable / reenable annotations at the top of the screen.

Creating a Channel Expression

Click the + icon on the right to create a new channel.

You can visualize data channels using expressions. Expressions supports simple mathematical operations like anything included in the math.js library
