Property reference
Incoming File
This property is of type Filename and can be referenced with the variable name Incoming.
File to stream incoming data from.
File -> Communications component.
Parse Mode
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name ParseMode.
Specifies the way we read in the data from the file.
Detailed Byte : "z - 122 - 0x7a"
Raw : "z"
CSV Decimal : "122, "
CSV Hex : "0x7a, "
Display Mode
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name DisplayMode.
Specifies the way we show the data on the console.
Detailed Byte : "z - 122 - 0x7a"
Raw : "z"
CSV Decimal : "122, "
CSV Hex : "0x7a, "
Values Per Line
This property is of type Unsigned integer and can be referenced with the variable name ValsPerLineI.
Number of values to display on a single line of the data console.
0 = Infinite number of characters
Skip Timestamp
This property is of type True or false and can be referenced with the variable name SkipTimestamp.
A file populated with data from an injector may have a timestamp built in which we may not want to receive.
Yes: Skip first 22 characters of each line of data so we don't receive any of the timestamp info.
No: Read data normally.
Outgoing File
This property is of type Filename and can be referenced with the variable name Outgoing.
File to store outgoing data.
Communications component -> File
Clear On Init
This property is of type True or false and can be referenced with the variable name ResetOutgoing.
No - Append to the end of the file.
Yes - Empty file on initialise and start from the beginning of the file.
Data Mode
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name DataMode.
Specifies how the data is represented in the outgoing file.
Detailed Byte : "z - 122 - 0x7a"
Raw : "z"
CSV Decimal : "122, "
CSV Hex : "0x7a, "
Values Per Line
This property is of type Unsigned integer and can be referenced with the variable name ValsPerLine.
Number of values to display on a single line, applies to the file and data console.
0 = Infinite number of characters
Append Timestamp
This property is of type True or false and can be referenced with the variable name Timestamp.
Appends a timestamp to the beginning of every line relating to the time the first byte in the line was received.
Based on the PC system time.
Timestamp in the format "YY/MM/DD - HH:MM:SS - "
