Import of Calibration Data Files
================================

The addin RS_CALIBDATA is an import filter for UniPlot to access all calibration 
data from the following file formats: 

* DCM (V2.0 - V1.0 not supported)

* PACO

With this addIN you will be able to load, analyze and plot your calibration data
in UniPlot. This will allow you to compare your measured data with the expected
behavior of the calibration.

.. note::
   The addin is a beta version.

.. _installation_calibration-data:

Installation
------------

* Choose :ref:`tools-add-in-manager`.

* Check the :guilabel:`Calibration Data file import` addin.

* Choose OK.

.. _usage_calibration-data:

Usage
-----

* Choose :ref:`fileimport-data` to select a Dataset file. 

* Choose Type ``"Calibration Data File (*.dcm;*.DCM;*.PaCo)"``.

* Select one or more Calibration Data files.

* To plot the Calibration information : Choose the Type 
  ``Calibration Plot (1D, 2D, 3D)``. If you select this type UniPlot will do the
  following :
  
  .. list-table::
     :header-rows: 1
  
     * - Label Type
       - Action
     * - Single Value
       - UniPlot offers to plot:
  		  * a single point
  		  * an X line threshold
  		  * a Y line threshold
     * - An axis
       - Plot a 1D y/t line
     * - A calibration line
       - Plot a 2 x/y line
     * - A calibration table
       - Plot a 3 x/y/z surface
	   
* An equivalent function to display the numerical values in table is available
  using ``Calibration Table (1D, 2D, 3D)``.

	 
In all the cases UniPlot will find automatically the related axis thanks to the
information provided in the dataset. For best results, try to always export your 
axis within the dataset.
