# Understand the EKO Q workflow

Using EKO Q is easy. When you have collected solar irradiance data in a form of tabular .csv/.txt/.dat or .xlsx file, do the following steps.

![](https://eko-support.eko-instruments.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-01-2025-01-50-24-2553-PM.png?width=670&height=129&name=image-png-Jun-01-2025-01-50-24-2553-PM.png)

1. **Configure site** and set up key parameters such as latitude and longitude coordinates.
2. **Configure irradiance sensor** and provide its key details such as sensor model and orientation.
3. **Upload the data file**. Use embedded data onboarding tool if case of custom file formats.
4. **Look at the data.** Use embedded visualization capabilities to quickly check for any easy-to-see issues.
5. **Configure and run analysis.** Use one of the available analysis options.
6. **Download the Analysis Report** once the analysis is done, with key insights on your data and automated recommendations based on them.
