Section 4. View
4.1 Introduction
Pressing the View button on the main tool bar invokes PC208W’s file viewing
program. This program can be used to look at any data file collected by
PC208W from dataloggers and storage devices, regardless of the format in
which it was saved (comma separated, binary, or printable).
Once a file is opened, data can be printed, graphed, or displayed in ASCII,
tabular, or hexadecimal format. However, since View is primarily a file
viewing utility, a file cannot be edited or saved using this program.
4.2 Menu Items
All of the tools available in the pull-down menus can be accessed using the
graphical icons. Each of these icons is explained below.
4.3 Icon Items
Following is a description of the icons that appear below the menu items. If
you move and hold the mouse pointer over an icon for a few seconds, a brief
text message will pop up that describes the function that will be performed if
the button is pressed.
File Open Options
Select the
icon (first icon) to open a data file. The default file extension is
DAT, but PRN and CSV files can also be opened in this mode. (Opening files
of types other than these may cause unexpected results in View.)
When a data file is opened in this mode View will automatically associate an
FSL file with a matching name if one exists in the active directory (see Final
Storage Label below). If a matching FSL file does not exist, a box will appear
asking whether or not you want to select one. When an FSL file is associated
with a data file, View will use column headers and time stamps from this file
when viewing or graphing an array.
View will try to assign a time/date stamp automatically when
opening a data file. Therefore, it may take a few minutes to
completely open a large file.
Select the
icon (second icon) to open a file in Quick Open mode. In this
mode files are not processed for time stamping. A file opened in this mode can
be viewed only in its original format or in hex mode. The Array Selection,
Array Definitions, Tab options, and Graph View options do not work. This
mode is most often used to open files other than data files (or to quickly open
data files, but without any of View's graphing or time stamping capabilities).
