Using Templates
To make a Template, select the object or branch that you want to save, and
repeat the procedure above.
Templates are added to a project tree as described in section 4.3.3, by
selecting the Templates tab instead of the default Object tab. This opens
the dialog with a list of the templates you have defined, instead of the list of
objects.
Templates can only be added to the project if the first object in the template
understands the output format of the active object in the project explorer.
This means, that if you save a template for an entire project starting at the
BSA Application object, the template can only be attached when the active
object is the Start object. It is therefore a good idea to name the template
using the first object in it.
You can customise a complete measurement set-up, including:
• your preferred screen layout
• hardware configuration, position mesh
• data analysis and presentation
• data export
and save it as a template.
New similar experiments can thus be defined very quickly.
For example, a template for boundary-layer measurements could consist of:
• BSA Application, defining the optics and hardware set-up and the
traverse mesh
• Histogram view of raw velocity components
