The aim of this element is to allow users to label a data series concerning a numerical data element whose data is not stored in the segment but in an external file. MDT loads a file containing columns. Stations to be used as a reference should be in first column. This column is then followed by a series of columns containing the information one wishes to label. The dialog box shown below is then displayed A description of its characteristics follows.
File Extension: Select the file to be used as a reference for the creation of this numerical data element.
Data Column: It is compulsory for the initial column to contain the stations used as a reference. In this command one selects the column in which the data one wishes to label is to be contained.
Type: Optionally, the possibility exists of either labelling the character chain of the column selected or drawing the block referred to by the character chain in the column selected. A different configuration for both cases. In the latter case, MDT searches for the block in the program’s BLOCKS folder (see Customization Manual).
