Notes: This icon is replaced the standard Data Source icon if you open a saved project or restore the
previous session. Note that the line that is drawn between the Data Source (DataSource) node and the
source is dashed, indicating that the input data is not continuously updated. When the Data Source

Procedure
1. Select a Data Source (DataSource) node. A drop-down appears with a list of available data
sources.
2. Choose the appropriate source.
3. Click OK.
Note that the line that is drawn between the Data Source (DataSource) node and the source is a dash,
indicating that the input data is not continuously updated. The data will only update when the Take
Snapshot button within the Data Source (DataSource) node is pressed.
When the Data Source (DataSource) node receives data from a scalar input, data cannot be exported to a
file. This icon will appear with red circle and slash over it if the data needs to be updated. This will
happen if you open a saved project or restore the previous session.
