channel attributes

[shefalika]

I have a program that converts in house data format to Diadem data format. I see that if in the channel header of the dat file i write say:

270, 14.4 then when i load this dat file this 14.4 shows up in Additional real 1 in the channel property of that test. (i just hope i am makign sense!) Anyway, what line do i have to write in the channel header so it shows up in Additional text 1 of the channel property? i dont see a number (like 270) that will directly put it in Additional text 1. Please ask me questions if i am making no sense.

Thanks ~sn

Hi,

You can use ID's 300 and 301 to refer to "Register Text 1" and "Register Text 2". You may want to consider to read your file directly into DIAdem instead of converting it to a DAT file. Did you see what you can do with DataPlugins ? See www.ni.com/dataplugins for details. If you send me an example file with your internal file format I would check for you what it takes to create a DataPlugin.

Thanks Andreas. i used 300 and 301 and it worked just fine. i also looked at the link you sent but i coudnt find anything rather quickly that would do it for me so i am attaching a couple of my files. If you can help with the DataPlugin i will appreciate it. Thanks ~sn

Hi,

Thanks for sending the file. I had a look at it and I think I can provide a DataPlugin. I do have a few question so to better understand the file structure. I understand that each file has a header and data for a single channel. It would be great if you could give me some more detail regarding the meaning of the data in the header. If there are items I can ignore, just let me know

Hi again, it' s the mouse wheel . Each time I use it, strange things happen. I'll try again :

Thanks for sending the file. I had a look at it and I think I can provide a DataPlugin. I do have a few question so to better understand the file structure. I understand that each file has a header and data for a single channel. It would be great if you could give me some more detail regarding the meaning of the data in the header.

Is there any rule for the file extension ?
