This is done with entries in [DATA ACQUISITION]. Set the path to the local file, an example is
below:
[Data Acquisition]
Ftp Address=
Ftp Folder=
Ftp File=
Ftp Username=
Ftp Password=
Local File=c:\data\my.txt
Ftp Refresh=
Local Refresh=00:00:30
With these settings, the player will look in the local “C” drive, in a folder named “DATA” for a
text file named “MY.TXT”
The player will look there for refreshed data every 30 seconds as indicated by the Settings.Ini
entry “Local Refresh=00:00:30”.
Data paths maybe a local or network mapped drive, indicated by a drive letter…such as
“c:\data\my.txt” or “g:\data\my.txt”. The path may also be a network name path such as
“\\ourdataserver\myfolder\my.txt”.
The next step is to actually have data in the location for the player to obtain. For TEXT data, the
file must be laid out in INI file format…headers are not required other than for organization, but
a field name and a value is required for each element of dynamic data.
For example, a text file that holds scores might look like this:
[SUBSTITUTIONS]
Royals=7
Yankees=3
Chiefs=43
Raiders=3
Jayhawks=102
Tigers=3
Kings=122
Nuggets=60
And in our example would be saved as “my.txt” in a folder named “data” on the player’s “c”
drive.
