SHEAR Data Acquisition Dialog "Type of test" Box Does Not Include Needed Test Type

Problem: When importing a data acquisition file into SHEAR, the import dialog's "Type of test" selection box does not include all of the expected test types.

Explanation: Likely the wrong data acquisition manufacturer has been selected in the dialog's settings, or the incorrect importer dialog's showing.

Solution:

  1. Retry the test import. Do you see the following dialog?
    2. Version 2 Data Importer
  2. If you do, drop down the Files of type: box and check for your data acquisition file type. If you see it: select it, pick your data acquisition file, and click Open!
  3. If you see the dialog but your file type isn't in the list, click on the button labeled Click to Import a Type Not Listed in the "Files of Type" Box button and proceed to the following instructions.
  4. If you clicked on the Click to Import a Type Not Listed... button, or if a different dialog than the one above appears when you start the import process: From the alternate file import dialgog, select "Settings" then change the "Source of data acquisiton files" box to the proper manufacturer.
  • If the proper manufacturer's already selected, then we do not currently support importing files from the desired type of test. In this case, use our support form to request support for the file/test type.
