 ==Add Sample Data==
-This module downloads a number of sample data sets from the internet. These data sets can be used for testing of slicer capabilities.
+This command provides an option to download a variety of anonymized datasets for learning and testing in Slicer. Because the datasets are hosted in a remote repository, a network connection is required to access them.

 It is used to select the reader which loads a file. Some file extensions (e.g. <code>.vtk</code>) can contain different types, e.g. ''Volumes'', ''Models'' or ''Fiber bundles''. You must ensure the correct type is selected.

 The '''Add Data''' dialogue allows you to load virtually any type of data that Slicer can handle. It should be used as the default way of loading data, with the exception of DICOM, which has its own interface. Data is added to the existing scene.

-Slicer can load a large variety of data in multiple ways. For Dicom data, please refer to the [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Modules/DICOM|DICOM]] module documentation. For almost everything else (including scenes), you can use the '''Add Data''' dialogue. For a listing of supported data formats see [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/SlicerApplication/SupportedDataFormat|here]]. Please note that some of the formats listed are only partially supported.

For a listing of supported data formats see [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/SlicerApplication/SupportedDataFormat|this list]]. Please note that some of the formats listed are only partially supported.
 For some of the more complicated formats (DWI in particular) it is recommended to first convert the DICOM data into the <code>nrrd</code> format using the [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Modules/DicomToNrrdConverter|DICOM to nrrd converter]] and then to load the nrrd file into Slicer. Many vendors are using non standard ways to describe their DWI data in the DICOM headers. The DICOM to nrrd documentation contains a listing of specific formats that have been debugged and tested.
