R32 and R48 DataPlugins

[pria]

Hi,

Can you provide me the data plugins or the commands to read the R32 ad R48 files? I am able to load these files into DIAdem through

NAVIGATOR : FILE ->DAT Files ->Inser From Files,

which then asks me to select channels and reads a particular channel into a exisiting group.

My requirement is to read these files programatically; generate a new group for this file and populate all the data into channels in this new group.

It would be great if you can help me with this.

Waiting for your earliest response.

Pria,

Please have a look at the description of "DataFileLoadSel" in the online help and let me know whether this is what you are looking for.

Hi Andreas,

This does not solve my problem. The file I am dealing with is not recongised by this command.

Also, this file is not directly opening through the Load Data File Dialog with "DIAdem DAT file" as the file Type, I guess if it was loading it through this interaction then the command would have worked. But I am able to load the file only through the steps I mentioned in the earlier post.

FYI, I have attached the error I get whe nI try loading the dat file throught

Call DataFileLoadSel("C:\Test.DAT","DAT",,"Register")

Hi pria,

The *.R48 or *.R64 files are binary data files in the olde DIAdem 8.x file format.  DIAdem expects a *.DAT header file to describe how the binary file is structured.  Do you not have any *.DAT files?  The Insert method you say you are using successfully creates a *.DAT file on the fly.  There are other ways of loading the binary files directly, but the simplest thing would be to use the *.DAT header files if you have them.

Hi pria,

Please post an example data set, ideally both the binary file (*.R64, *.R48) and the *.DAT header file of the same name.  We need to know what type of file it is.  Once we can load the file at NI, we'll be much better able to figure out why it doesn't load on your computer.
