How to get the raw data

Share icon

Igor can load data files like Excel, but how to export the data into a format like Excel?


For example, I use Igor to collect data from a machine and graphs are plotted at the same time. Now, I need to know the raw data behind the graphs. How can I get the raw data?


Anyone knows how to solve this problem?
Maybe someone here are also using a software like Origin to handle with data and plot graphs. It's simple to get the raw data for a graph by a few steps.

Igor should have the same functions. But I cannot find it.



Thanks.

I think the first 20- 40 page of the manual should give you the answer. Please look for the "Guided Tour of Igor Pro" in the Igrorpro manual

The suggestion to do the guided tour, or at least the first half of it, is a very good one. The guided tour is an essential introduction to Igor.

You can access the guided tour by choosing Help->Getting Started or by opening the PDF manual and reading Chapter I-1. To open the PDF manual, choose Help->Manual.
