Waiting for imported data file

This is for 32-bit Facets 3.87. Here is Help for 64-bit Facets 4

Facets can import data in many different file formats, but some of these require that the file-format's originating software be launched to decode and transmit the data to Facets. This can be a slow process. So we see messages such as:

Waiting for imported datafile ...

 

This wait can be avoided on subsequent analyses of the same dataset if the data is saved in Facets format, and then accessed directly.

 

Example:  Guilford.txt is has a data file in Excel format.

 

Guilford.txt

with data in Creativity.xls

Analyze Guilford.txt

 

Notice the "Waiting" message ...

Edit menu

 

Edit Data =

The contents of the temporary file are the values imported from Creativity.xls

"Save as"

GuData.txt in the same folder as Guilford.txt

Facets

Edit menu

 

Edit specification file

Change the name of the Data= file

 

then Save it

Next analysis of Guilford.txt

 

Very fast processing with saved data in Gudata.txt
