Getting started

Data Sensors main window with a torque and temperature measurement file loaded, two strips plotted, and a calculated signal being defined

Open a measurement file - CSV, MAT, MDF/MF4, or TXT - and Data Sensors resamples every channel in it onto one uniform time grid, so signals that were originally logged at different rates line up correctly from the first strip you build, with no manual alignment step. Drag a channel from the left-hand signal list onto the plotting area to add it to a strip, or drop it onto an existing strip's values table to add it there instead of creating a new strip.

You can also import a CAN or CAN FD bus trace (.asc or .blf) decoded against its signal database (.dbc) via File > Import CAN Trace... - Data Sensors handles the bit-level decoding itself, including multiplexed signals, both Motorola/Intel byte orders, and CAN FD's longer, up-to-64-byte payloads, so the decoded channels show up exactly like any other measurement, ready to plot, slice, or train a virtual sensor on.
