recommended that you edit directly and these are therefore not discussed
in detail in this document.
Below are examples as to how to read in additional variables from your
instruments, control the averaging of variables, control the time series
plots and add your own variables.
Note. Throughout, columns in the file are separated by at least one
space.
[Variables]
This section defines what variables exist in Deckman. The columns are:
1. Unique identification number for the variable.
2. Long name, which is seen in most places inside the program (for
example, on the data bar and Show Data).
3. Short name, which is used as label on the times series plots.
4. Number of decimal places for the variable.
5. Whether the value should be an absolute value when plotted on a
time series plot (number 1) or normal data (0).
6. Data type (0=normal, 1= -180 to 180, 2 = 0 to 360, 3=time,
4=distance).
For example, the line:
0 Heel Hl 1 1 0
is a variable with Deckman identification number 0, is called Heel, has
short name Hl, has one decimal place, is an absolute value and is
normal data.
A number of the variables listed in this section will not have data in
them by default and will therefore always read 0. If you want to view
data for these variables, therefore, it is necessary to configure the
j_varsXX.d
file to read in the correct values from your instruments
system (see Reading in a new variable below).
[UserVariables]
You can use this section to define your own variables based upon ones
that are already declared (see User variables below)
