TUTORIAL - my first data upload into IRIS

The initial uploading of rheometer data is often cited as the most difficult part of getting started with IRIS. The following tutorial is designed to overcome this hurdle. It is specifically intended to guide newcomers to IRIS.

We begin by preparing rheological data for upload, proceed step by step through the process, and gradually work our way up to more advanced features.

Obviously, this tutorial is unnecessary for established IRIS users. However, there may be newcomers who became interested after seeing your rheological explorations and who can now use this tutorial as an easy starting point for their own rheology work with IRIS
