Recording a measurement series

In ConCertainty, you record measurement data from everyday laboratory work as measurement series. A measurement series summarizes measured values that were determined on a specific laboratory sample using a specific test profile and device.

Before you can record a measurement series, the following master data must be available:

  • at least one test profile
  • at least one laboratory sample

Measurements overview

In the left menu, under Data basis, open the Measurement series section. The overview shows a search form that lets you retrieve measurement series in a targeted way.

Enter the desired search criteria – Date from and Date to are pre-filled but can be adjusted. Optionally, you can also filter by Test profile, Laboratory sample, or Device. Select Search to load the results.

Info

The overview remains empty until you actively perform a search. This prevents data that may not match the desired time period from being loaded automatically when the page opens.

If no measurement series exist for the selected criteria, the message "No measurements found for the selected criteria" appears. In this case, adjust the search criteria.

Recording a new measurement series

In the measurements overview or on the dashboard, select Create measurement series.

Step 1: Configure measurement

First select the test profile, the laboratory sample, and the device used to perform the measurements. The measurement time is automatically pre-filled with the current date and time and can be adjusted.

Info

If the device used is not yet in the list, you can create it directly in the selection field: Enter the device name and select Create device "[Name]" from the suggestion list.

Once the test profile, sample, and device have been selected, the measurement value table appears.

Step 2: Enter measured values

The measurement value table shows one row per measurement. The columns correspond to the parameters of the selected test profile. Sample and device are pre-filled in each row. The time can be adjusted individually per row.

Enter the measured values directly into the table. Use the + button at the end of the row to add another measurement. Individual measurements can be deleted using the trash can icon.

Delete all removes all entered measured values.

If you want to rotate the view – e.g. if you have many parameters but few measurements –, select Transpose. The table will then display parameters as rows and measurements as columns.

Step 3: Import measured values via CSV (optional)

Instead of entering values manually, measured values can also be imported via CSV. Select Import CSV and paste the contents of your CSV file into the input field, or drag the file directly into the dialog.

The CSV file must comply with the following format:

  • The first line contains the column headers
  • Parameter values are matched using the parameter identifier – e.g. si for silicon or fluorid for fluoride
  • Upper/lower case in the headers does not matter
  • Columns that do not correspond to a parameter identifier are ignored
  • If the CSV file contains a column with timestamps, ConCertainty automatically detects it and offers to use it as the measurement time

Example:

Zeitpunkt,SI,Fe,Cu
12.06.2026 10:00,10.001,0.05231,0.3625
12.06.2026 10:15,9.987,0.05198,0.3601

After the import, the values can still be corrected manually in the table.

Warning

Unsaved measured values are lost if you leave the page. ConCertainty does not display any warning in this case. Save your entries regularly using the Save button.

Step 4: Save measurement series

Select Save to apply the measured values. The measurement series then appears in the measurements overview and is available for measurement uncertainty determination.

Editing an existing measurement series

Using the edit icon in the measurements overview, you can open an existing measurement series and subsequently correct or supplement measured values. Then save your changes using Save.
