•
It may consist of both upper and lower case
letters.
•
It may not be the same as one of ID-2000s
standard parameters (regardless of case):
Time
Scan_Number
Scanrate.
•
It may not be the same as one of ID-2000
mathematical functions (regardless of
case):
ABS
ACOS
ASIN
ATAN
COS
COSH
LOG
LN
SIN

•
It may also be useful to use upper and
lower case character combinations for
parameter names as in EngineSpeed,
OilPressure, ExhaustTemp, etc.
If you have entered an invalid name (or one is
included in a data file being imported) the
Invalid Name dialog box will be displayed.
ID-2000 keeps track of parameter name
substitutions that you have previously used and
will attempt to default the same substitution. As
in the figure above a parameter using the
restricted name of “Time” must be changed. In
the “Enter new name” field the new name of
“MegadacTime” is defaulted because that was
previously used for a parameter originally
named “Time”. ID-2000 stores all the name
substitutions you use from the Invalid Name
dialog in the IDWIN.INI file under Name
Substitutions. You may of course enter any
name desired for a parameter with an invalid
name. Doing so will simply update the
IDWIN.INI file with the new name you select.
You may optionally include units for any, all, or
none of the parameters.
6.3 EXPORTING DATA
Any ID-2000 data file may be exported as
another ID-2000 file, an ASCII text file, or
DADiSP file. ID-2000 also allows you to
perform a partial export by specifying which
parameters and what section of data you wish
to export.
To export a data file select the File - Export
menu item from the Plot Template view. The
standard file selection dialog box will be
displayed so that you can select which ID-2000
Windows data file you wish to export. The
default is the current primary data file.
After selecting which file to export the file export
dialog box is displayed for selecting what type of
file format you wish to export and the name of
the exported file. Figure 6-4 shows the file
export dialog box.
In the bottom left corner of the dialog is a drop
down list labeled “List Files of Type:”. If you
click on the drop down arrow you will see a list
of all export file formats. They include ID2000 -
Windows (used for partial exports to another ID-
2000 file), ASCII Column, and DADiSP.
After selecting the export file format the Export
Data Selection dialog box is displayed to allow
you to select various export options.
