1. Data Converter (TFC) Tutorial
This tutorial demonstrates all the main stes of demonstrates typical procedure of converting row experimental data (on the example of adiabatic data)
Follow the instructions printed in bold and underlined
Begin

2. Read this guide, then Click Open

3. 2. Select necessary Data File
1. Select necessary Folder
3. Press Open

4. This data set was loaded from the Excel book
This data set was loaded from the Excel book. One should remember that TFC can read only data from the first page of the book.
TFC automatically recognizes the data table and highlights the first and last table lines.
As additional information in the original data can be arranged in arbitrary manner it has to be defined manually
As soon as data table was recognized one can proceed with the next step – filling the Header
Click Next

5. 1. To retrieve info from data file Click View Source data Button
2. Fill necessary fields manually.
Note – phi-factor should be defined if it cannot be calculated from mass heat capacities of sample and bomb. Otherwise it will be calculated in ADaExpert

3. Press Next

6. Select appropriate separator and Press OK
If separator between data columns coincides with the default one the first data line appears in Source Sample. If not – Click Settings to adjust separator

7. 1. Click Arrow to select appropriate quantity
Minimal obligatory data for adiabatic experiment are time, T sample and Pressure
For every obligatory data column one should define physical quantity and units
If datatable contains more data columns, extra columns should not be defined
Еo define physical quantity and units of every necessary data column Click to Define
1. Click Arrow to select appropriate quantity
2. Click in the list to select appropriate quantity

8. 3. Click Arrow to select appropriate units
Minimal obligatory data for adiabatic experiment are time, T sample and Pressure
For every obligatory data column one should define physical quantity and units
If datatable contains more data columns, extra columns should not be defined
3. Click Arrow to select appropriate units
4. Click in the list to select appropriate units

9. Click Save to save new Template
Repeat the same procedure for sample T and Pressure
If Template is correct, Click Yes
Now you can assign the Template name and save it for further use. Type the text in the edit
ARC data
Click Next

10. Click Return
Converted data will be transferred to the data processing program and TFC will be closed

11. End of the Tutorial.
Now you can repeat data conversion by yourself - you can use your own data to master the TFC Data Converter.
