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

Measurement overview

Open the Measurement series area under Data basis in the left-hand menu. 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 from being loaded automatically when the page is opened that may not match the desired time period.

If no measurement series are available 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 measurement overview or on the dashboard, select Create measurement series.

Step 1: Configure measurement

First, select the test profile, the laboratory sample, and the device with which the measurements were carried out. 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, but can be adjusted individually per row. The time is initially empty; if it remains empty, the measurement time set above will be used when saving. Alternatively, you can enter a different time for each row.

Enter the measured values directly into the table. As long as no measured values have been recorded, an empty row is available for input, recognizable by the "+" at the start of the row. If you enter a valid value into a parameter field of this row and leave the field, ConCertainty automatically adds a new empty row below – there is no need to add one manually. Recorded rows are numbered consecutively (starting at 1).

If you move the mouse pointer over a numbered row, a trash can icon appears at the end of the row, which you can use to delete the respective measurement.

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 then displays parameters as rows and measurements as columns.

Step 3: Import measured values via CSV (optional)

Instead of manual entry, 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 row contains the column headers
  • Parameter values are assigned via the parameter identifier – e.g. Si for silicon (chemical symbol) or fluorid for fluoride (user-defined)
  • Upper/lower case of 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 recognizes it and offers it for use 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 in the table can still be corrected manually.

Warning

Unsaved measured values are lost if you leave the page. ConCertainty does not provide 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 measurement overview and is available for the measurement uncertainty determination.

Edit an existing measurement series

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