Section 8. Working with Data Files on the PC

File

The name of the file to be imported. Press the

File button to bring up a

browser to select the desired file.

Header Line Count

CSV files may have multiple header lines or no header line. Use the

Header

Line Count field to designate how many header lines your file contains before

the data begins.

File Delimiter

Although CSV files are by definition comma delimited, other file delimiters

(tab or space) can be selected in the

File Delimiter drop-down list box.

Date/Time Format Options

When importing a CSV file, View Pro will attempt to derive a timestamp from

data in the first column, if common timestamp delimiters exist in the data. If

View Pro is able to derive the timestamp, the

Has Date/Time Column check

box will be checked and the derived timestamp format will be displayed in the

Derived Date/Time Format field using the codes shown below. Any errors in

the derived format can be corrected in this field.

If the first column contains a timestamp, but does not have the common

timestamp delimiters that allow View Pro to determine that it is a timestamp,

you can manually check the

Has Date/Time Column check box and then input

the appropriate codes in the

Derived Date/Time Format field to designate the

format of the timestamp.

If the first column of data does not contain a timestamp, leave the

Has

Date/Time Column check box unchecked. You will still be able to import the

file into View Pro and view the data. However, you will not be able to graph

the data.
