- Import your scanned image
- Calibrate the chart scale
3. Trace the Data
- Use the tracing tool to follow temperature and humidity lines
- Mark key points automatically or manually
- Review traced data for accuracy
4. Export Data
- Export as CSV for use in spreadsheets
- Export as JSON for automated processing
- Save project for future reference
Tips for Best Results
- Ensure good scan quality
- Properly calibrate time and measurement scales
- Review data points for obvious errors
- Save original charts as backup
