After completing a test, engineers often need to share results with stakeholders, feed data into downstream tools like WinPlot or Python, or archive specific investigations for later review. Sift lets you export telemetry data from a Run in multiple formats without leaving your workflow.

​
Before you begin

  • You have a Run with ingested telemetry data.

​
How export works

You can export data from a Run in two ways:
  • From a Run: select specific Channels from the Run’s overview page and export them directly.
  • From Explore: export the Channels currently plotted in a Timeseries Panel from an active investigation in Explore.
Both paths support the same export formats. Exports run in the background so you can continue working while your data is prepared.

​
Export from a Run

  1. In Sift’s homepage, search for the Run you want to export in the Run name or description box.
  2. In the Runs table, click the Run.
  3. Click Export Data.
  4. In the Channels table, select the Channels you want to export.
    • To export the entire Run, click Select all Channels.
  5. Click Next….
  6. Select your preferred file format.
  7. Optional: Select a Channel name display option.
  8. Optional: Select a file splitting option.
  9. Optional: Select a Channel data grouping option.
  10. Click Export….

​
Export from Explore

Export from Explore is only available for Timeseries Panels.
Limitations: Nested Calculated Channels cannot be exported and are excluded from the output. Relative Time mode is not supported for export.
  1. In the Timeseries Panel, click Export data.
  2. Select an export format:
    • Export as CSV
    • Export as Parquet
    • Export as WinPlot
    • Advanced Export
    • Use previous advanced export settings
  3. Optional: If you select Advanced Export, configure export settings such as Channel name display, file splitting, and Channel data grouping.
  4. Click Export.

Verify

A toast notification confirms that the background export has started. You can track its progress in the Jobs menu.
