GGU-SLUGTEST: "Import ASCII data" menu item

Because you will probably receive most of your data in the shape of files on storage media (disk), this menu item represents a vital interface for accessing your data. To facilitate reading the ASCII file you will see a dialog box.

The current line of the ASCII file is shown at the top. You can move through the file using the arrow buttons on the right. In the "Time column:" and "Value column:" you enter the column number for the corresponding information contained in the file. If all the information is correct, the result for the row is shown in the box below each column. Otherwise, "Error" appears.

You may need to change the column delimiter.

If the time is given as clock time, please ensure the correct "time delimiter" is used.

If the file contains invalid as well as valid rows, the invalid rows will simply be skipped during reading.

After the "Read data" button has been pressed and the data successfully read, you will see a message box with the number of values and character strings read, and the value at the start of the test.

Directly after clicking "OK" you will be given the option of adjusting the data. You confirm your choice in a prompt and can then adjust the data immediately in a dialog box, depending on your test configuration; this dialog box can also be accessed by going to "Edit/Test data" .
