In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to organize and explore telemetry data using Explore v2 (Beta). In particular, we’ll use a sample rover dataset to demonstrate the following capabilities in Explore 2 (Beta): navigating Channels using the hierarchical tree view, creating panels to visualize key signals, and arranging them into a multi-panel layout for easier analysis.
Explore v2 (Beta) is changing rapidly. Some parts of this tutorial may look different in future versions.
Upload the rover.csv file to Sift. During the upload process, create a new Asset named rover_1_sim and a new Run named rover_1_sim_functional-pre-vibe. Once the data is uploaded and assigned to the new Asset and Run, you’ll be ready to explore it in the next step.
Step 2: Organize and visualize data in a multi-panel layout
In this step, we’ll first organize the rover data to make it easier to navigate by using a hierarchical tree view that groups Channels by subsystem, making it easy to explore related signals. Then, we’ll create a multi-panel layout with three panels to organize and visualize different parts of the rover data.
In the Runs table, click rover_1_sim_functional-pre-vibe.
Click Explore 2.
Click Channel tree.
Create three panels:
Panel 1
Panel 2
Panel 3
In the Channels tab, click battery_charge.
Create a multi-view layout:
Click and hold the Table 1 tab then drag it to the bottom of the screen. Once you see the bottom area highlight, let go to place it there.
Click and hold the Timeseries 2 tab then drag it to the bottom right corner of the screen. When the bottom right section highlights, release to place it there.
Right-click the Timeseries 2 tab and select Split right.
In the Channels tab, under the motor_a section, click the following Channel: encoder.
In this tutorial, you learned how to organize and explore telemetry data using Explore v2 (Beta). You now know how to navigate Channels, create panels, and arrange a multi-panel layout to analyze and compare signals effectively.
