Shared across cells with identical specifications. A specific physical cell you're testing. Each instance has a unique identifier within your organization. A single experiment or test run on a cell instance. Each measurement has a type that determines what data it stores. Raw time-series data and computed summaries stored in optimized formats for fast visualization and analysis. ## Measurement types Every cell measurement has a `measurement_type` — `time_series`, `properties`, or `file` — that determines what data it stores. See [measurements](/data/measurements) for the full table of types with their fields, creation examples, and when to use each. ## Data workflow Convert raw cycler files into the Ionworks format using the [`ionworksdata`](https://data.docs.ionworks.com/) library. See [preparing data](/data/preparing-data). Create cell specs, instances, and measurements via the Python API. See [uploading data](/data/uploading). Retrieve data back, filter, and plot with the Python client — see [reading data](/data/reading) — or explore interactively in the browser via [visualizing data](/data/visualizing). ## Browsing data tables When you navigate to a cell specification or cell instance in Ionworks Studio, data is displayed in sortable tables. Click any column header to sort — once for ascending, again for descending, a third time to clear. This works across cell measurement tables and pipeline tables alike. ## Next steps Recognized columns, units, and sign conventions. Read cycler files with the ionworksdata library. Upload cell specs, instances, and measurements via the Python API. Explore uploaded data with the interactive viewer. Archive original cycler files and link them to the measurements they produced for full provenance. Register sites, cyclers, and channels, link each measurement to the physical channel it ran on, and see channel occupancy at a glance.
