iPlotCSV User Guide
This page is the single source of truth for workflows, feature behavior, and every Math Wizard input. It stays aligned with the app because operation docs are generated from the same registry used by the UI.
Quick Start
Core flow from upload to share. Best for onboarding and support handoff.
Upload one or more CSV files
Start on Upload, drag in your CSV files, and open the configuration wizard for the first file.
Configure columns in the Wizard
Enable only the columns you need, rename them, set their data types, and assign units for cleaner plotting.
Save and auto-create your dashboard
Use Save & Plot to generate a dashboard for the file with an initial layout and plot-ready fields.
Use Data Manager and Math Series
In Dashboard, open Data for source control and Math Series to create derived signals like FFT, filters, and statistics.
Share when ready
Use Share to publish a live dashboard link so teammates can view or collaborate without manual exports.
Math Wizard Input Reference
Generated from operation metadata. Search by operation, category, or parameter.
Output Mode
Returns one summary value and broadcasts it across rows for plotting consistency.
Input Fields
Source Column
Default: none
Constraints: any column
What it does: Primary data column this operation runs on. All computed values are derived from this source series.
How to choose: You can pick any column, but most math operations work best with numeric data. If results look wrong, confirm you selected the intended signal.
No additional parameter fields for this operation.
Where to use this
Dashboard Toolbar → Math Series → choose the source column and operation.
FAQ
Practical answers for setup, input choices, and feature access.
What is the difference between Formula and Math Series?
Formula is row-by-row math expression building, while Math Series applies predefined operations (statistics, filters, FFT, engineering transforms) over a source column.
How do I know which inputs are required?
In Math Series, required fields are marked with an asterisk. This guide also lists required status, default values, and limits for each operation input.
Can I apply the same dashboard layout to another file?
Yes. Use Apply to File in the dashboard toolbar to duplicate the layout against a different CSV source.
How should I pick units in the Wizard?
Choose units that match the source column values. Correct units improve operation behavior and preserve meaningful output units for derived series.
What does output mode mean in Math Series?
Same Length returns one value per input row. Scalar returns a single value broadcast across rows. Variable Length returns a new series with different point count (for example FFT bins).
