Example properties are shown below:
Figure 5-3 File Import properties for .par files
To browse, click once on the Value field next to Import file, and click the
browse button that appears. Select .par as file type and browse to the file.
Filter informs about the type of data is has found at the specified location. It
can be either BURSTware, FLOware or SIZEware.
Selected columns line lists the data types available in the file(s) to import.
You can select all or parts of the list to import. For example, if the files
contain data from a two channel measurement, you can select data from one
of the channels only if you wish. This is specified by tick marks in the drop
down list accessed from the value field.
It is recommended always to include the Status from all processor channels.
File extension specifies the first file to import, if the .par file selected is for
a measurement with multiple positions. Burstware automatically generates
file extensions for the individual positions .000, .001, ... .00a, ...00z, 010,
...ZZZ.
If you are interested in a single position among many, specify the data file’s
extension for that position in the File extension line.
If you are interested in all positions (typically for velocity profile and vector
plots), specify .ZZZ as the Last file (extension).
If you are only interested in the file specified in the File extension line,
leave the Last file (extension) blank.
If Validate Samples is Yes/On, only valid samples will be imported.
The BSA F/P Application controls hardware communication and data
acquisition, and the measurement positions, the traverse mesh. The left hand
part of the window controls the hardware settings. The properties of the
hardware are displayed in the Property editor upon selection of the hardware
in the Device list. These properties are explained in section 5.3 to 5.7.2.
The generation of measurement positions, and the linking between these and
hardware settings takes place in the right hand part of the window. This is
described in section 5.7.8.
All properties are accessed from the BSA Application window:
