Gauge wizard—file picker

The File Picker section allows you to select data from a CSV file and use this data in the chart.

CSV file is created in IxLoad by using the CSV Snapshot or CSV logging features.

The CSV Snapshot captures a view as it appears in the Stats of the IxLoad window. After a test run after the test is stopped, select CSV Snapshot to take a snapshot view. You can take a snapshot of the current view or all views.

The Current View Snapshot option captures only the selected view.

The All Views Snapshot option captures all the views that were checked in the Snapshot Configuration dialog. The captured snapshot is saved as a CSV file.

CSV logging files contain the time evolution of the view that has this option enabled (You can enable the option, by selecting the CSV Logging in the Data menu.)

You can access the CSV files in the IxReporter window. In the Gauge Wizard, select File Picker. The list of CSV files appear in the Available Files pane. Select a particular file to open it in the wizard and use it as a data source.

The fields and controls available in this dialog box are described in the following table:
