21.09.2021

Reads an analog or digital channel from a file in BMC NextView format.

ReadNextViewFile(File, ChannelNumber [ , CalendarTime = FALSE ])

The syntax of the ReadNextViewFile function consists of the following parts:

Part	Description
File	String with the path of the BMC NextView file to be read. Permitted data structures are scalar value. Supported data types are string (file name). If the argument is a list, then the function is executed for each element of the list and the result is also a list.
ChannelNumber	Number of the channel to be read out of the file. Permitted data structures are scalar value. All integral data types are permitted. The value must be greater or equal to 0. If the argument is a list, then the function is executed for each element of the list and the result is also a list.
CalendarTime	Boolean value specifying that the time data is to be read as a calendar time. Permitted data structures are scalar value. Supported data types are Boolean value. If the argument is a list, then the first element in the list is taken. If this is also a list, then the process is repeated. If this argument is omitted, it will be set to the default value FALSE.
