Step 1: Understanding Sessions vs. Studies
When using the TSI Edge Dosimeter, starting and stopping the device multiple times before saving and closing will result in multiple Studies listed under a single Session. This setup allows you to group related data points together for cleaner organization [00:15].
Step 2: Selecting Data for the Report
To ensure your report only contains the most relevant data:
Navigate to Data Finder: Locate the specific Session containing your studies.
Filter Studies: Instead of selecting the entire Session, you can drill down to individual Studies. This is crucial if certain run periods were accidental or contained "noise spikes" you wish to exclude [00:45].
Right-Click Selection: Highlight the specific study you need, right-click, and select the report generation tool [01:10].
Step 3: Customizing the Layout
The software allows you to toggle specific panels on or off to focus on critical data:
Summary Panel: Best for a high-level overview of TWA and dose.
Log Data Chart: Essential for visualizing noise levels over the duration of the study [01:40].
Exceedance Tables: Useful for identifying exactly when noise levels crossed regulatory limits.
