DATALAB
DATALAB is Qualifier's offline data discovery tool. It takes files from many vehicles at once, applies whatever filtering and math you ask for, and returns the result as a file you download.
Use it when the question spans more files than a chart can hold, or when no existing report gives you the view you need. For charting a single trip or event on screen, use AC-Graph instead.
A DATALAB job is called an experiment. Experiments run on the server in the order they arrive, so you can start one and carry on working elsewhere in Qualifier. Qualifier emails you and shows a notification when the result is ready.
Open DATALAB from Analytic tools > DATALAB Results, or start an experiment directly from a grid.
Learning DATALAB
Introduction to DATALAB walks through the tool from the beginning:
- What is DATALAB?, and how it differs from Qualifier's other analysis tools
- Create an experiment, the seven steps from selecting vehicles to checkout
- Manage your experiments, finding and downloading what came back
Reference
- Reduce the data in an experiment covers parameter lists, geofences, and conditional filtering. Cutting an experiment down before you run it is the main lever you have over how long it takes.
