How do I add Channel names to my raw data using a plugin?

[NavyJack]

I have a Campbell Scientific datalogger which outputs raw data (no headers, etc.)  I need to add channel names and units to this data for display in DIAQdem.  I know there's a way to do it, but I haven't had the class yet (coming to the base soon) and don't have a lot of time to try and figure it out for myself.  I'd appreciate any help that I can get.

I've generated a script using the Data Plugin Wizard, but as expected, it's very long and verbose... most likely has WAY more information in it than I need.

Hi NavyJack

I answered a similar question a while back.  If you just want to add a list of static channel names, then try this approach with your existing DataPlugin that you got from the ASCII DataPlugin Wizard:

You are of course absolutely correct that the boiler plate code you get from the ASCII DataPlugin Wizard is way more complicated than you need for your data file.  If you are able to send me a sample data file, I could probably send you back a very simple DataPlugin which would be much easier to tweak for channel names, channel units, etc.

What DIAdem version are you using?
