How do I add Channel names to my raw data using a plugin?

I have a Campbell Scientific datalogger which outputs raw data (no headers, etc.)  I need to add channel names and units to this data for display in DIAQdem.  I know there's a way to do it, but I haven't had the class yet (coming to the base soon) and don't have a lot of time to try and figure it out for myself.  I'd appreciate any help that I can get.
I've generated a script using the Data Plugin Wizard, but as expected, it's very long and verbose... most likely has WAY more information in it than I need.

Hi NavyJack
I answered a similar question a while back.  If you just want to add a list of static channel names, then try this approach with your existing DataPlugin that you got from the ASCII DataPlugin Wizard:

You are of course absolutely correct that the boiler plate code you get from the ASCII DataPlugin Wizard is way more complicated than you need for your data file.  If you are able to send me a sample data file, I could probably send you back a very simple DataPlugin which would be much easier to tweak for channel names, channel units, etc.
What DIAdem version are you using?

  • How do I add my name to the camera data file in meta data?

    When reviewing the meta data on my photos I see the camera model number, serial number, focal length, etc.  The camera owner field is blank.  How do I add my name to the camera owner field?
    I'm using Photoshop CC, on a windows 8.1 Pro platform.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Caitlin

    I did add all the info on the menu section you mentioned above.  Unfortunately it does not show up as "Owner" when you view the data file in Photoshop CC for some reason. Copyright info shows properly, but not camera owner.  It's not a big problem anyway, just a pride of ownership thingy .  I downloaded the GeoSetter program, and after reviewing the meta data contained there I don't see an option for "owner" there either.  Perhaps its something that Adobe plans to implement someday, who knows. Thanks for your suggestions everyone.
    This is my first DSLR, all I have shot in the past have been film cameras and we didn't have any of this fancy info available unless we wrote it down somewhere, smile.  I was still using my old Nikomat that I purchased in 1972 when I was stationed in Japan. I was a bit stubborn when it came to switching to DSLR sorry I waited so long now.
    Oh, Trevor, sorry to learn you may be using something other than Nikon, I didn't know there was another brand other than Nikon!

  • How to view AR dunning letter XML file (raw data)?

    Hi,
    Can anybody tell how to view AR dunning letter XML file (raw data) as I like to modified the dunning letter and like to know which fields I can add to our dunning letter layout. thanks.

    Hi
    These are the steps you need to do to get the output in XML Raw format.
    Step 1
    1- Go to System Administrator -> Concurrent -> Program - Define
    2- Query the Dunning Letter Print
    3- Set the format output as XML
    Step 2
    1- Ftp Oracle E-business suite Server
    2- Get the file ARDLP.rdf from $AR_TOP/reports
    3- Open the report using Oracle Reports
    4- Change the output to XML.
    ARDLP.rdf is a report provided by Oracle Corporation so it is a good idea to make a backup of the same,
    before making any changes. Hope this will help.
    Regards
    Ali

  • How is the Raw data used in iPhoto. I currently shoot both jpeg and raw and import them both into iPhoto.

    How is the Raw data used in iPhoto? I currently shoot both jpeg and raw and import them both into iPhoto. What do I gain by collecting Raw data?
    Thanks

    You get more parameters for making adjustments to the image. This is not really an iPhoto question but more a general photography one. In rather simple terms here's how a digital camera works:
    You expose an image. A lot of data is gathered in by the sensor. But it's just a bug lump of data and not very useful in that form.
    In cameras that shoot jpeg that mass of data is interpreted/processed into an actual image, and the image is stored in a jpeg file. (that's a process broadly analogous to developing a film). The decisions that go into making that interpretation are all made by an engineer somewhere, back when the camera was developed.
    If you shoot Raw, then what you do is take that mass of data, and rather than working to the decisions made by that engineer, you develop the shot - you run the digital darkroom.
    Why would you do this? Take on all this extra work? Well one of three reasons: a: you think you can do a better job than that engineer. b: you just prefer the result you get when you develop yourself or c: you're a hopeless shooter and raw means you have more options to fix the mistakes you made in the camera. (That's why I do it.)
    Here endeth the two dollar tour. So, basically, if you're happy with what your camera produces in Jpeg then there's really no need to shoot Raw.
    There's no need at all to shoot Raw+Jpeg as iPhoto creates a jpeg preview when you import, so you're just wasting space.

  • How to set alpha channel names in a format plugin?

    I am writing a format plugin with 6 color planes for CMYK mode. I want to set the apha channel names for planes 5 and 6 to "White" and "Clear" instead of "Alpha 1" and "Alpha 2" when I read the color data from my file. How do I set the alpha channel names?
    Thanks!

    I am still trying to find a solution to this.  The propChannelName is read only and the documentInfo structure is NULL when reading.  Any suggestions?

  • How do I get channel names written into a logged ascii file in Signal Express

    Hi there,
    This maybe a rookie question but I am a relative rookie to this software, and I hope it has an easy fix!
    Background:
    Take a load of analogue inputs from a DAQ device into Signal Express, first thing that hits me is that unlike labVIEW you cannot right click in the channel configuration window and change the name from say... Dev2_ai0 to Air Pressure? I feel that if this was possible then I would overcome my problem? anyway I can't so onwards...
    I goto the DAQmx Acquire window on the top left and can right click and rename the channel, which is great... however this does not translate to the logged data as I get the ai0 channel names across the top of the columns and not the names that I have put in.
    Is there anyway of getting data like the attached snippet?
    Many thanks for your help in advance.

    Channel names.gif ‏4 KB

    Hi Dan,
    Thanks for the reply, that has certainly fixed my issue as I wasn't expanding the channel and selecting the channel that I had renamed.
    One last thing though:
    I now not only get the individual channel name but the prefix for the DAQmx Aquire, for instance I get the Input of Braketest and then the channels under the input data.
    It looks a bit like this....
    Braketest - Front Pres
    Braketest - Rear Pres
    Braketest - FR Temp
    Braketest - FL Temp
    etc etc...
    Now all of the channel names at the top of the columns have this long name. Can this be rectified? can I remove the "Braketest" bit?
    By the way I am saving it as an ASCII so that I can read it in excel.
    Many thanks, Neil.
