Breaking tests into parts using the Segment of test measure

In brief

If you include the Segment of test measure in the Data page spreadsheet, then the spreadsheet will include one row for each test's segment rather than for each test.

Details

ANY-maze includes the ability to break tests into discrete, fixed-length segments and to analyse measures for each segment individually. This allows you to see how a measure alters during the test.

If you include the Segment of test measure as a column on the Data page (see Selecting the measures (columns) shown on the data page), then the spreadsheet will automatically show one row for each time segment (unless you choose to show segments in different columns - see Showing repeated measures in columns). For example, with 30-second segments, a five minute test would be shown in 10 rows, with the first row showing results for the first 30 seconds of the test, the second row showing the results for the second 30 seconds, and so on.

Breaking tests into segments in this way is referred to as 'Analysis across time', and you can choose how long the segments are in the Analysis across time element of the protocol. For some measures, such analysis affects how the measure is calculated - indeed some measures can't actually be analysed across time at all.
