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.
