Importing External Sensor Data

The Data Studio can import sensor data from any external source if it is in a CSV, WAV, or QLSM format.

DAI Format and Pre-Labeled Data

If you labeled your data through an external source you can import your labels via the DAI format. Find out how to use the .dai format in the Importing Pre-Labeled Data tutorial

Note

If you want to import your sensor data without labels you can skip the Pre-Labeled Data tutorial.

CSV Format

If you are importing CSV files then your data should have a header row
