filename in legend

[bricem13]

Hello.

Quite a basic question but several trials and none worked..

So in the legend I just want to display the filename without the channel as in "channel name (file name)". I tried free text with "@@ChnFileName(CurrChnNo)@@" but it did not worked out.

How cn I do this?

Best regards,
Brice

Hi Brice,

You've got the right idea, but the channel property you need to use is "SourceDataFileName", and you need to use either the ChnPropGet() or ChnPropVaGet() function or the new Data.GetChannel(CCN).Properties approach available in DIAdem 11.0 and later:

@@ChnPropGet(CCN, "sourcedatafilename")@@

Hello Brad


Thanks for the tip. I tried also with "@@Right(DatafileName,Len(DataReadPath)-1)@@" but it gives the same name for each "filename"... it comes from the fact that when loading data DIAdem 'stacks' the data (I'm not that sure to be clear but I believe you see what I mean -;).

Brice
