Analysis and Management Add-ins

The primary way of interacting with your Splashback data is using our add-ins.

Add-ins#

  • Governor - Import data from labs, sensors and more, and edit data and metadata with an intuitive interface.
  • Compare - Plot parameter vs. parameter for a site.
  • Series - Plot multiple parameter time series for sites and streams.
  • Parameter + Site Summary - Plot multiple parameters for a single site, or a single parameter over multiple sites.
  • Parameter + Site Profiler - Plot multiple parameters by variant for a sampling event, or a parameter for multiple sites by variant or a site by variant for multiple dates.
  • Functions - Use functions to query Splashback data.

Requirements#

Splashback requires Excel on the Web, Excel on Windows (Version 2008 or later) or Excel on Mac (16.40 or later). It also requires a stable internet connection, and a valid Microsoft Office licence.

Standalone runtime

There is a Standalone add-in runtime coming soon which removes the need for Excel and provides opportunities to circumvent complex organizational deployments.

Clear add-in cache#

Occasionally, major Splashback releases may cause incompatibilities with old add-in versions.

Due to the way that Microsoft Excel on Windows and macOS caches add-ins, we have little control when you will receive the latest version of our add-in. To circumvent this, it is possible to manually clear your add-in cache, which will cause Microsoft Excel to load the latest version of our add-in when it is next launched.

If you run into any problems, please get in touch. We know this process is annoying, but we sadly aren't the only add-in publishers to have this issue.
