ReStackor Baseline Spreadsheet

The ReStackor_baseline.xls worksheet is identical to the basic ReStackor spreadsheet with the addition of a "Make Baseline" macro button. Clicking on the button copies the current calculation results from the ReStackor tab to the "Baseline" tab of the spreadsheet. 

Plots in the Baseline spreadsheet use the data in the "Baseline" tab for the Open Clickers, Setting and Closed Clickers curves. The current calculation results from the ReStackor tab are plotted using an orange curve, only the clicker setting curve is plotted from the current results.

The Baseline spreadsheet makes comparing stacks easy:

• Setup the spreadsheet for the baseline stack.

• Hit the Run, Load_Output and Make baseline buttons. This loads the calculation outputs into the ReStackor tab and copies those results to the Baseline tab of the worksheet. The plots show the open, set and closed clicker positions from the data on the Baseline tab. This is the reference stack.

• Modify the inputs to whatever stack you want to test and hit the Run and Load Output buttons.

  • The Load Output button puts the calculation results into the ReStackor tab of the spreadsheet.

• The plots will then show the baseline stack wo, set and closed clicker positions for the Baseline stack and the curves at the clicker setting for the current modified stack using the data on the ReStackor tab of the worksheet.

After you become familiar with ReStackor you will undoubtedly want to make your own macros and custom plots to display the data in the format most useful to you. This sample spreadsheets is simply here to show some baseline worksheets to get you started.

Baseline Spreadsheet Details

Run Button: Writes the inputs to a file and runs the ReStackor code .

Load Output: Loads the current calculation results into the ReStackor tab. 

Make Baseline: Transfers the current calculation results from the ReStackor tab to the Baseline tab. 

Plot Outputs: The plots use data from the "Baseline" tab for the Open Clickers, Setting and Closed clicker curves. The plot line labeled as "Current" is linked to the data on the ReStackor tab. You can, of coarse, add more lines to the plot. The example above only uses these three lines to keep the plot simple.

Baseline Worksheet Tab

Clicking on the "Make Baseline" button simply transfers the data from the ReStackor tab to the "Baseline" tab of the worksheet. Both Shim ReStackor and ReStackor pro calculations results are transfered. Definitions of each parameter is given in the Output file description of the user manule.

Plots in the Make Baseline Worksheet

As mentioned at the top the Open, Setting and Closed clicker curves are referenced to the data on the "Baseline" tab of the worksheet. The "Current" line on the plot is referenced to the "ReStackor" tab of the worksheet. 

The "ReStackor_baseline.xls" worksheet makes it easier to compare stacks by having the two load output buttons to transfer data to different tabs of the worksheet.
