Saving, exporting and re-importing of data with SSSP
When growth of bacteria and/or shelf-life of seafood has been predicted it
is often useful to save the data and predictions e.g. for later
documentation or if data are to be send to colleagues. To save temperature profile data, bacterial growth data
and/or shelf-life data the SSSP software can generate Csv files (*.csv), txt files (*.txt)and
Xml files (*.xml).
In addition graphs produced by SSSP can be saved as Portable Network
Graphics (png) files.When clicking on
in the upper left corner of the SSSP dialog box then options for saving and
exporting of data and predicted values appears as shown below.
The option 'Csv files (*.csv)' allows (i)
the temperature profile, (ii) predicted growth (iii) predicted remaining
shelf-life or histamine formation and (iv) product characteristics to be
saved in an csv-file that can easily be opened and read by a
spreadsheet.
The option 'txt files (*.txt)' allows (i) the temperature profile, (ii)
predicted growth, (iii) predicted remaining shelf-life and (iv) product
characteristics to be saved in an ASCII file. Open e.g. the file 'Save-ASCII-1.txt'
to see the format of the saved ASCII file. ASCII files saved in this way
may allow data from SSSP to be used by other software. In addition SSSP
can re-import temperature profile data saved as ASCII files.
The option 'Xml files (*.xml)' allows (i) the temperature profile, (ii)
predicted growth (iii) predicted remaining shelf-life and (iv) product
characteristics to be saved in an XML file. SSSP can re-import all the
information saved in XML files. This can be useful when SSSP e.g. is
applied in teaching sessions where examples with prediction of bacterial
growth and/or shelf-life of seafood under specific conditions can be
prepared in advance and just need to be uploaded as an XML file during the
session.
Finally predictions from SSSP can be saved as graphs. All graphs have a
top bar including the
icon and this bytton allow graphs to be saved at Portable Network
Graphics (png) files. |
