Load/Save/Import/Export

Load file reads data stored in one of the WinMF format types. For the time domain the file extension is *.mda, for the frequency domain *.msp.

Reload current file reloads the file with the name of the currently active one. So usually the file is just loaded anew. In case a new filename has been set by QC/set current filename, this file will be loaded.

Save file as opens a file browser for saving a file. After the operation the current filename is taken over by WinMF.

Save uses the the current filename. Existing files of that name are overwritten without further enquiry. In case a new filename has been set by QC/set current filename, the file is stored under this name.

Save and plot additionally creates a plot. Existing files of that name are overwritten without further enquiry by the Save operation as well as by the Plot operation (short cut q).

Save (autoincrement) stores under the current filename. If the file already exists, a new file is created by adding a serial number to the current filename. E.g. current filename is “Test.msp”. If Save (autoincrement) is executed and the file already exists in the current directory, a file with the name “Test_000001.msp” is written. With the next function call “Test_000002.msp” is created and so on.

Monkey forest

Import *.spk imports spectra from Monkey Forest.

Export as *.spk exports spectra in Monkey Forest format.

Export *.spk exports Monkey Forest spectra using the current path and filename. Existing files of that name are overwritten without further enquiry. In order to export spk files within a macro this function is to be used.

Import/Export *.dat imports/exports Monkey Forest time signals.

Import/Export *.wav imports/exports wav files. Wave formats available are 16bit integer and 32bit float.

Matlab raw data

Matlab import and export functions work with the following variables inside a Matlab file:

• data: two-dimensional array, each row contains a channel vector

• samplerate: sample rate of data

If ‘data’ is non-existent, the import is aborted. When importing an array into the time domain, only the real part is used.

If ‘samplerate’ is non-existent, the sample rate of the file currently displayed in WinMF is used.

Import *.mat imports Matlab data.

Export as *.mat exports Matlab data.

Export *.mat exports Matlab data using the current path and filename. Existing files of that name are overwritten without further enquiry. In order to export mat files within a macro this function is to be used.
