Ascii file with header

[txcaudio]

Hello,
is there any possibility to read an ASCII File which has a header in the first rows and then the data channels in columns?
The header has some information about the channels, I´d like to import the information to the channel properties (name,...)...
thanks in advance, 
martin

Hi,

You would have to use some thing like labVIEW or CVI, of which there are examples for reading from an ascii file, and return this information back into TestStand. That's if this is a TestStand related question.

Sorry,
this question belongs more to DIAdem, I chose the wrong board...

hello martin,

if you start the ASCII import wizard in DIAdem, you could mark data in the previewwindow at the bottom at step 3 of the wizard and then choose what kind of information the data should be (like name, comment or unit).

kind regards,

Hi,
thanks for the advice, I created some register texts and values and it worked quite well, but when I import the data with my .stp file and choose 'Create data plugin', it doesn´t import the data and the data plugin (which is created) is not usable. Anyway, if I delete the new plugin and import only the file with my .stp file everything is fine.
