Import Properties


This dialog is used when SBench6 cannot (fully) determine how the imported file should be interpreted. SBench6 will try to deduce sensible defaults, but its capalities are limited, therefore this dialog allows the user to edit the properties.
The dialog shows up in different configurations depending on the format of the file that should be imported:

WAVE

Channel sorting Defines order of the channels in the file:
  • Linear: linear sorting (Ch0, Ch1, Ch2, Ch3)
  • Alternating: alternating sorting (Ch0, Ch2, Ch1, Ch3).
Max The highest voltage the signal could reach (similar to "Input Range"; not necessarily the highest voltage value in the signal).
Min The lowest voltage the signal could reach.

ASCII

Number of channels Number of channels in file. Mixed analog and digital means that digital channels are stored in upper bits of analog channels.
Length Length of one channel in samples
Posttrigger Number of samples after trigger
Samplerate Sampling rate of the channels
Resolution Resolution of the channels in bits
Max ADC value Use this to set maximum RAW value if it is not equal to 2^(Resolution -1). Only available if Resolution is set to Custom
Max The highest voltage the signal could reach (similar to "Input Range"; not necessarily the highest voltage value in the signal).
Min The lowest voltage the signal could reach.
Values Columns in file: I (index), X (time), Y (values)
Columns Separator between the columns
Format Data Format. comma, dot, scientific expect values as voltage, the other formats expect raw values
Newline Separator between two rows
Skip lines Lines to be ignored before the data starts. Usefull if the ASCII file contains a header.
Skip columns Number of columns to be ignored

Pure Binary

Number of channels Number of channels in file. Mixed analog and digital means that digital channels are stored in upper bits of analog channels.
Length Length of one channel in samples
Posttrigger Number of samples after trigger
Samplerate Sampling rate of the channels
Resolution Resolution of the channels in bits
Data coding The coding of the samples:
  • Two's complement: First bit is sign
  • Offset binary: Zero equals most negativ value
Channel sorting Defines order of the channels in the file:
  • Linear: linear sorting (Ch0, Ch1, Ch2, Ch3)
  • Alternating: alternating sorting (Ch0, Ch2, Ch1, Ch3).
Max The highest voltage the signal could reach (similar to "Input Range"; not necessarily the highest voltage value in the signal).
Min The lowest voltage the signal could reach.
