ReadINSIGHTFile (FPScript)
Reads a data set from a file in INSIGHT's SDB or MDF format.
Syntax
ReadINSIGHTFile(File, ChannelNumber [ , CalendarTime = FALSE ])
The syntax of the ReadINSIGHTFile function consists of the following parts:
Part |
Description |
|---|---|
File |
String with the path of the SDB or MDF 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. The channels are numbered starting with 1. Permitted data structures are scalar value. All integral data types are permitted. The value must be greater or equal to 1. 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 are to be read as calendar times. Otherwise, the X component provides the time in seconds relative to the trigger 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. |
Remarks
The function can also read segmented data (measured in block mode). The result is then a signal series with one signal per segment. If it was measured with time stamping hardware, then the Z component of this signal series contains the trigger times of the segments relative to the trigger time of the first measurement.
