The current tab that is displayed when the program is run is the Propulsion Efficiencies tab. The next tab is the Performance Analysis tab. Selecting theses buttons will bring up two different screens on the figure window. The AEV Analysis tool has a File and Tools menu optioning the top left hand corner of the figure window. Below is a brief description of these options File Open File (.xls): Opens, loads, and analyzes an Excel spreadsheet containing System Analysis 3 data recordings from wind tunnel testing. (Details discussed in Propulsion Efficiency Data”). “Loading Open File (.mat): loads, and analyzes a MATLAB data file containing EEPROM data recorded by the Arduino motor controller. (Details discussed in Performance Analysis Data”). “Loading Save As (.xls): Saves voltage, current, and thrust data entered into the table by the user to and Excel spreadsheet for later use by the AEV Analysis tool. (Details discussed in Propulsion Efficiency Data”). “Loading Tools Download Arduino Data: Downloads EEPROM data from the Arduino motor controller following an AEV track run and saves the data as a (.mat) file. (Details discussed in Arduino Data”). “Downloading Export Figure: Allows the user to export plots displayed in the app for documentation and presentation. Clear File: Clears one of the four files in the performance analysis tab so another data set can be observed (Note: File” does not permanently delete the “Clear data set). View Energy Analysis: Opens up the data set in Excel and so the user can view the raw and calculated data (similar to the Excel spreadsheets created in System Analysis 1 and 2).
