#!F-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--18* #!N #!CNavyBlue #!N #!Rall177 Using the Header File to Import Data #!N #!EC #!N #!N Once you have created a Data Prompter header file, the next step is to use that file to import the data it describes. The basic procedure follows: #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18* #!N #!N #!I30 #!N 1. Place an Import tool icon on the VPE canvas (see #!Ltstapi,dxall28 h Selecting tools and placing icons #!EL ). #!N #!I30 #!N 2. Double click on the icon to invoke the configuration dialog box (see #!Ldp1219,dxall178 f Figure 19 #!EL ). #!N #!I30 #!N 3. The following information is required: #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18* #!N #!N #!I30 #!N a. The (path) #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* name #!EF of the header file to be imported (in the first text field of the #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* Value #!EF column (at right). If the Import module is part of a network displayed in the VPE, the path name appears automatically. #!N #!I30 #!N b. Set #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* format #!EF (the third field of the column) #!N #!I30 #!N c. Set #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* format #!EF (the third field of the column) to "general" unless the header file already has that as its extension. #!N #!I0 #!N #!EF #!N #!Cbrown #!N #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18* #!Rdp1219 #!N Figure 19.

The #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* variable #!EF parameter can be used to import a subset of the variables specified by the #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* field #!EF keyword statement. For the General Array format, by default, all variables are imported. #!I0 #!N #!N #!N #!I0 #!N #!EF #!N The specified data file will now be imported when any visualization program containing this Import module is run. #!N #!N #!N #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18* Next Topic #!EF #!N #!N #!Lall178,dxall179 h User's Guide #!EL #!N #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18* #!N
