Overview

In this tutorial, you will get started with Explore v2 (Beta) by using Panels to analyze telemetry data from a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite. You will visualize Channels, build a flexible, multi-Panel layout, and learn how to share your analysis to collaborate with others.

​
Prerequisites

  • Import this CSV file (leo.csv) to Sift, creating a new Asset named leo_satellite and a Run named leo_satellite_simulation
    • If you are unsure how to import a CSV, see Import a CSV for step by step instructions.

​
Step 1: Open your data

Open your dataset in Explore v2 (Beta):
  1. In the Runs tab, search for and select leo_satellite_simulation.
  2. Click Explore 2.

​
Step 2: Build a multi-Panel layout

Panels let you visualize and analyze your data in Explore v2 (Beta). Use a Timeseries Panel to view trends and a Table Panel to inspect values, then create a multi-Panel layout to better understand your data. Other Panel types are also available. See Panels.
  1. Click the Timeseries Panel.
  2. In the Channels tab, under the EPS section, click:
    • Battery_Current
    • Solar_Array_Current
  3. Click Add, then select Timeseries.
  4. In the Channels tab, under the Payload section, click:
    • Payload_Power_Draw
  5. Click Add, then select Table.
  6. In the Channels tab, under the Comms section, click the following Channels:
    • Data_Backlog
    • Downlink_Data_Rate
    • Downlink_SNR
    • Tx_Power
  7. Drag the Table 1 tab to the bottom of the workspace.
  8. Drag the Timeseries 2 tab to the bottom right.
  9. Click Collapse.

​
Step 3: Share your workspace

Share your workspace to let others view the same Panels and layout:
  1. Click Share.
  2. Click Copy.

​
Conclusion

In this tutorial, you used Explore v2 (Beta) to build a multi-Panel layout to analyze telemetry data. You learned how to visualize Channels, use Panels to explore your data, and share your workspace to collaborate with others.
