DASYLab Write Data Module Output Format

[Williamx]

When writing fields to an output file in ASCII mode with the Write Data Module and Copy Inputs option, are the inputs sequentially written? Or, can the output field order be changed? I'm assuming that the order of the outputs being written is 0..n. I can redraw the module so that the input order matches the desired output order, but it makes the design visually messy. I'd like to be able to specify that inputs (copied to outputs) are 1..n and written as 0..n-1 and the 0th input is written to the nth output. Can I manipulate their order within the module or must I reroute the inputs to match the final output order? Thanks

The channel list in the target file is determined by the inputs of the module. They are always written 0...n.

There is no way to change the order inside the module. You must wire the inputs in the order that you want them written. 

The Copy Inputs option in any module is simply a way to keep the worksheet tidy. It allows you to "pass through" the module. No processing is done, and the output channels are exactly the same as the input modules. 

Checking the option in the Write Data module does not affect the file that is created.
