Import Noldus Observer Data

Observer 11 data

Once again, the export format has been changed:

Export your data using the command Export - Observational data... to create an xls file.

Use our separate INTERACT File converter (available for macOS and Windows) to convert the file.

Ask our support team for the download link.

Start the application

Click Load File

INT_Converter_LoadFile

Select the exported xls file in the File open dialog and click Open o confirm the selection.

Wait a few seconds until this message appears:

INT_Converter_Finished

 

The new INTERACT file can now be found in the same folder as the original *.xls file.

During the conversion, the original session structure is translated into Sets in INTERACT.

Note: The structure of the exported Observer files is rather limited, providing only one subject column and one behavior column. To make the most of your data during analysis and make use of the full power of INTERACT, you should restructure the resulting data using the following commands:
- Use the Move & Combine Codes command to move Codes to new Classes, to split-up behavior per type with just a few mouse clicks. - - Restructure your data into separate Sets per Subject as described in Split Events into Separate DataSets, based on the 'Subject' column to easily get subject-based statistics and maybe use the State-Space-Grid.
