Assign Data to Channel

[icetiger62]

Is ist possible to assign measured data to channels without importing new channels?

I have to analyze data from heat pumps, but depending on model and test stand, the channels are either named differently or in different order.

What I try to achieve is, that the channels in the data portal in a specificorder contain always the same information, like 1st channel always contains the time, 2nd channel the inlet temperature, 3rd the outlet temperature and so on.

Hi icetiger,

You can only load data from files into DIAdem as new channels, but you can move channels around and delete others after the load, and you can also copy the values from one channel in the Data Portal into another channel.

I think it would really help if you would further describe what you want to achieve (big picture).

Hello Brad, thanks for your quick response.

I try to explain my problem, but since I am German it's a challenge for me ;).

I have to analyze data from different test stands. The calculation of the results is the same for each of them, but the imported channels are not because of different measuring software.
So my question is, if there's a way to choose -before or during the import of the data- the order and name of the channels in Diadem or is it just possible after the import?

I know how to change names and positions in the data portal, but only by naming the channels, so if there are different names, because of a different nomenclature in different softwares I can't write a script or rather have to change the channel's names befor using Diadem.

I hope you can understand my request, best regards and thank you so far,

Hi icetiger,

It is possible to use the DataFileLoadSel() command to load particular channels in whatever order you want, but you either specify the channels you want by name or index (position), just like in the Data Portal.  I'm not sure that addresses your issue, and I"m not entirely sure what your core problem is.

Feel free to describe the issue in German.
