Prepare for expiration of time-limited LENA Pro package (Grad, Pilot)
LENA Pro Graduate Student and Pilot licenses expire. The license expiration date is accessible from within the software.
At the end of the licensing period, the data are no longer accessible from within the software for viewing, printing, or export.
Export any data you will need continued access to before the LENA product key expiration date.
Your data analysis requirements may call for all or some of the exports listed below.
Core report data
Export a Daily CSV, all dates, all children to retain a list of all files processed and the data underlying the Daily reports, including counts, standard scores, and percentiles. Include Snapshot and AVA data if desired.
Export an Hourly CSV, all dates, all children (or make a separate export for each group, or for each child) to retain all count data underlying the Hourly reports. This export is critical if any children have made consecutive day recordings, which can sometimes be obscured in the Daily CSV. Follow the same instructions as for the Daily CSV, selecting the Hourly button under Report Elements.
Export a 5 Minute Detail CSV, all dates, all children (or make a separate export for each group, or for each child) to retain all count data underlying the 5-minute report bars and aligning with the 5-minute WAV file exportes. Follow the same instructions as for the Daily CSV, selecting the 5 Minute Detail button under Report Elements.
The CSV exports contain the filenames with associated child information (child key, ID, name, DOB) to facilitate matching your exported ITS and WAV files to the appropriate children.
Meta data (ITS files)
Export ITS files for all children, all dates. The ITS file contains the full processing results, for use with ADEX or other data parsing tool.
Transcription and audio files
Export TRS + WAV files as needed to retain the full, listenable audio for transcription or acoustic analysis.
Export 5-minute WAV files as needed to retain smaller chunks of audio for analysis.
Report images
Print any reports you wish to retain images for.
Snapshots
Print Snapshot responses if desired.
Print individual Snapshot reports as needed.
Snapshot results can be included with recording data in the CSV Daily, or can be exported separately from recordings by unchecking all other boxes.
Snapshot answers can also be exported in bulk using the LDT export on the Export Data screen. Check the format to see if it meets your needs.
Backup of data directory
If you are considering purchasing LENA Pro in the future and may wish to migrate your Grad or Pilot data into the new installation, retain a backup copy of your data directory.
