If you manually measure your targets or wish to use ShotStat to compute statistics for other metrics (case weights, bullet diameters, etc), you will need to input the data using the keyboard. ShotStat does not use a 'spreadsheet' style input format. Rather, text input boxes for x and y data are used.
Since the same statistics engine is used regardless of input style (graphical or keyboard) or what type of analysis you wish to use, you must always input both x and y values. If you are working with one dimensional data (such as case weights, muzzle velocities, etc), enter your data as x and enter 1 for y. In this case, the only meaningful output is for x.
Alternately, if you have two groups of data (say two brands of brass), you can enter one as x and the other as y. This will save some work; in this case, read only x and y output, and ignore the rest.
Statistics are computed and displayed as for Graphical Entry. Please
see Section 4.5 for specific information
about the Statistics Output Window. Like the Graphical Entry Page,
if the Keyboard Entry Page is opened for new data (no data in memory),
the Header Entry Window (Section 4.2) is
displayed first and must be closed before Keyboard Entry can begin.
To open the Keyboard Entry Page: on the Main Page, click Data/Keyboard
Entry.
