Managing Data

Data Memory

When you start MindStudio Insight of the same version again, the data displayed last time is automatically remembered and displayed in the navigation pane.

Data Management

• Creating a data project

  On the MindStudio Insight GUI, click Import Data in the upper left corner. After the data is successfully imported, a data project is automatically created, as shown in Figure 1.

• Changing the data project name

  In the navigation pane of the MindStudio Insight GUI, double-click the project name and enter a new project name to modify the project name.

• Deleting data
  

  Deleting a project does not affect the original performance files.

  • Deleting multiple projects:
    1. In the navigation pane of the MindStudio Insight GUI, click next to Import Data and select the projects to be deleted, as shown in Figure 2.

  • Deleting data from a project: Click next to the target data row in the project to delete the data from the project.

Data Comparison

MindStudio Insight supports performance comparison between single-card data and between cluster data. You need to set baseline data and comparison data for comparison.

• Setting single-card comparison
  1. Right-click the card directory to be set as the baseline and choose Set as Baseline Data from the shortcut menu to set the selected card as the baseline card, as shown in Figure 6.

     After the setting is complete, the current card directory is marked in a color. Right-click the current card again and choose Unset as Baseline Data from the shortcut menu to cancel the baseline status of the current card. Alternatively, right-click any card directory and choose Set as Baseline Data from the shortcut menu to set the selected card as the baseline data.

  2. Right-click the card directory to be used as the comparison card, and choose Set as Comparison Data from the shortcut menu. Set the selected card as the comparison card, as shown in Figure 7.
     After the setting is complete, the comparison card directory is marked in a color, which is different from the color of the baseline data directory. Only the card directory in the current project can be selected as the comparison card. Right-click the current comparison card again and choose Unset as Comparison Data from the shortcut menu to cancel the comparison status of the current comparison card. Alternatively, right-click any card directory and choose Set as Comparison Data from the shortcut menu to set the comparison data again.

  3. After the baseline data and comparison data are set, go to the Timeline, Memory, and Operator tab pages to view the data comparison details.
• Setting cluster comparison
  1. Select comparison data. The data that is currently selected is the comparison data.
  2. Select baseline data.

     Right-click the cluster directory to be set as the baseline and choose Set as Baseline Data from the shortcut menu, as shown in Figure 8.

     After the setting is complete, the current cluster directory is marked in a color. Right-click the current cluster directory again and choose Unset as Baseline Data from the shortcut menu to cancel the baseline status of the current cluster directory. Alternatively, right-click any cluster directory and choose Set as Baseline Data from the shortcut menu to set the selected cluster directory as the baseline data.

     

     If the cluster data directory imported to a project is cluster_analysis_output, you can also select the data in the project and set it as the baseline data.
