10.3.4 Exporting Embletta Recordings

1. Make sure the recording that should be exported is open and labeled with the study ID.
2. On the File menu, point to Export, and then click Recording.
3. The Export Data Wizard is displayed. Click Next to continue.
4. Select configure the export settings manually as you go through the wizard. You can only opt to use an export profile if you have created one previously when exporting data. Click Next.
   • Use an export profile: If you have saved an export profile during previous export, you can elect to use it. Select the profile you want to use from the list. You will be able to modify the profile settings as you go through the wizard.
   • Manual configuration: Select this option if you want to configure the export settings manually.
5. The wizard lists all the traces in the recording. Select which traces you want to export. A check mark in front of the trace name means that the trace will be exported. Also, use the arrow buttons on the right hand side to determine in which order the traces will be exported. Selecting a trace will activate the arrow buttons. When you are finished, click Next.
6. Select the European Data format file (EDF) Click Next.
7. Choose a location where you want to export the data. Click Next.
   • An existing data location: Select this option if the data should be exported to an existing data location in the Recording Manager. From the list of existing data locations, select the location where you want to export your data. No data locations will be listed here unless they have been created in Tools | Options | Data Locations.
   • Other folder: Select this option if the data should be exported to a specific folder on the computer or network. You can either enter the location path in the text field or browse to the location by clicking the Browse button.
8. Select the No gain adjustment scaling method to use when exporting. Click Next.
   • No gain adjustment: Gain is not changed, so no scaling errors are introduced. If the data being exported falls within a very small range compared to the range expected by the file format you may get bad results.
9. The wizard summarizes the settings you have chosen for the export. If you want to change the settings, click the Back button. You can click the Save as button to save the settings as an export profile. Using an export profile will save you from having to choose the export settings each time you export data.
10. Click Next to start the export process.
11. Click Finish to close the Export Data Wizard.
