Section 6. View
6.5 Data View
The initial display for data files in View is as normal text in a grid format. The
following figure shows the View main screen with a data file open.
Array-based Data Files
When opening a data file from an array-based datalogger, you will be given the
option of loading an FSL (Final Storage Label) file. The FSL file will be used
to provide column headings. (The *.FSL file is created when a datalogger
program is compiled in Edlog or ShortCut.)
If a data file is opened that contains multiple arrays, the entire data file will be
opened in one window. In addition, each array will be opened in a separate
window. The window containing the entire data file is for viewing only. Data
must be graphed from the individual array windows.
Array-based data files do not contain timestamps. If an FSL file is associated
with the data file, View will try to extract timestamps from the appropriate
columns. You can select Array Definitions from View’s View menu to specify
how the timestamps are created. Note that if no timestamps are used, data
cannot be graphed.
