Options are available on the Experiment window pop-up menu (Figure 5.3) to save and load experiment design data. Selecting Save Design from the pop-up menu opens a File Chooser dialog box where you select or type the filename to which you want to save the data. The data in the experiment design matrix are saved to either a SAS data set or JMP data table, depending on your configuration data settings or the filename extension specified. Unlike the data displayed in the Experiment window, all individual replicate rows are completely populated with all the factor values along with the response values. Any rows that contain summary information for replication rows are not included in the saved data. The resulting saved data are in a format that can be passed to SAS procedures or JMP routines.

You can also load saved experiment data into a Simulation Studio Experiment window. Selecting Load Design from the Experiment window pop-up menu opens a File Chooser dialog box where you enter the filename for the previously saved data. Simulation Studio attempts to load the data into an Experiment window. From there, you can select Analyze Results from the Experiment window pop-up menu to pass the data back to a JMP routine for design of experiments analysis (if the experiment has factors included).
