Importing Data into LINK

Manual Data Import
The data import function is used to transcribe all useful information from instrument data files to the LINKdb.

Scheduled Data Import 
A scheduled import requires a user to request that the LINK server will scan select network locations at a particular time & day.

Excel Workbook Import
Using the Excel Measurement Import Template worksheet, data in an Excel workbook can be imported into LINK.

Sup-Populations
For some Particle Analysis instruments, LINK allows calculation and reporting of sub-populations based on particle characteristics.

Custom Particle Parameters (CPP)
CPPs are mathematical combinations of existing particle parameters, calculated automatically on import.

Automated Metadata Extraction
Allows metadata to be extracted directly from data fields in the measurement file.

Analyzing Data in LINK

Dashboard Overview
The design of LINK’s Analysis UI is based on dashboards. Every dashboard contains a Chart, notes block, Stats Table, Tabular Summary and thumbnail images.

Dashboard Library
The dashboard library feature provides the ability to instantly apply built-in dashboards to any analysis template.

Tabular Summaries Guide
Measurement Summary Tables are highly flexible user-configurable tabular summaries.

Series Display Options
Define series display preferences (style, color, size, weight, etc…) for all series on a given chart.

Thumbnail Image Options & Image Explorer
Thumbnail Image Options provide display preferences and the Image Explorer provide information about all particle images.

Advanced Filter Options
This feature will apply a one-time filter to the current dashboard, to filter active measurements based on quantitative results.

Dashboard Import & Export
LINK can export a dashboard to a file that can be imported into another analysis template or instance of LINK.

Clone Measurement
Produce an exact replica of all measurements in the project that have been selected in the Filter Panel.

Delete Measurement
Permanently delete all measurements in the project that have been selected in the Filter Panel.

Metadata Import & Analysis
The creation of User LINKdb Fields for the purposes of adding metadata to measurements that may in turn be utilized in analysis/processing/reports.

Particle Removal
Particle analysis instruments permit the removal of particles from the dataset that are visualized as bubbles, or particulate.

Sub-Population Reassignment
Particle analysis instruments permit the reassignment of sub-populations within the analysis UI.

Gaussian Fit (Line Chart)
The peak fit algorithm can be defined to use only the points near the top of the peak to perform the Gaussian curve fit.

Markers & Fill Regions (Line Chart)
Markers are the ability to plot a LINKdb field as markers with custom labels to the Line Chart series.

Curve Analysis (Line Chart)
Where Custom Curve Parameters are calculated to compare two curves with different x-axis coordinates.

Multi-Factor Visualization (Column Chart)
The Multi-Layer X-Axis Categories in which a user can optionally apply split field values as x-axis labels.

Reporting/Exporting Data from LINK

Custom Word Report
Generate a custom Word Report Template.

Export Dashboard Elements
Any dashboard object, such as charts, tables, and particle images, can be exported as an image or saved to a file.

Dashboard Import & Export
LINK provides the ability to export a dashboard to a file that can be imported into another analysis template or instance of LINK.

Automated Report Generation
Generate a report from the point of import.

Managing Data in LINK

LINKdb Fields
LINKdb Fields are database fields containing values that apply to each individual measurement/LINK Record ID.

Project Organization
LINK has the capability to organize projects into folders & sub-folders.

Project Merge
The ability to merge multiple projects into one new larger project.

Measurement Search
The ability to scan all Projects for measurements meeting specified search criteria.
