Automation of files analysis with associated templates
You use CIVA Analysis (or CIVA UT) regularly to analyze acquisition or simulation files, and have repetitive actions when working on a high number of similar files? There is a tool that could save you a lot of time.
The first level of data analysis automation in CIVA Analysis is the “Template”. It allows you to record a set of actions to be performed on a file. You can watch our video to understand how to use a Template.
The second level of automation available in CIVA Analysis (or CIVA UT) is a “batch” mode, which allows you to automatically load as many files as necessary in CIVA, and to apply a given Template to them. Doing this is very simple:
- An Excel file named “AutoRun.csv” must be defined and located at the root of CIVA Analysis (or CIVA UT). This file must contain two columns: the first one gives the complete path of the file to be loaded including its full name until the complete extension, the second one gives the name of the Template to be applied (without the extension). The screenshot below gives an example. Note that you can have as many files as you want, and each one can have a different Template.
- All that is left to do is to execute the “Go_Auto_UTAna.bat” file (see image below) which is located at the root of CIVA Analysis (or CIVA UT). The analysis will be launched automatically for all the files, and the various files will be saved with the application of the requested Template.
Don’t hesitate to use this feature extensively, it should save you a lot of time!
