Configuring tracks

Posted by maryl at 2010-10-10 14:43  

HI,<br>I have been trying to add time series data from CSV files to my Elan document. <br>I have added the csv files as secondary linked documents. One csv file has configured correctly and gives me the two lines of data across time which is what i wanted. I also wanted to do this with two other csv files but when i configure these, in exactly the same way as the first, it just gives me a constant number for the entire time series and no lines.. I have checked the csv files and the problem doesn't appear to be there. Is there a limit to the number of tracks that can be added? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!<br><br>thanks,<br><br>Mary<br>

No there is no built-in limit to the number of tracks that can be configured and visualized, nor to the number of files they stem from. This sounds like there is a bug in the timeseries system. Just to be sure you might want to check whether the two other csv files are handled correctly when they are individually added to a new transcription, as the first (and only) csv file.

Yep, it seems like there's a bug in the display system. I was getting a similar result as the original poster with my second CSV file. I could sort of fix the problem my reseting the ranges for each track, but then I'd also get some nasty horizontal lines running across the data, making it unreadable. Deleting one file didn't help anything; I had to delete both files and make them into one file (fortunately the time increments were the same between them) and re-add the file.
