Object: FixedWidthChannelFormatter
The FixedWidthChannelFormatter object contains information about how the values of a channel are represented in the text file.
The following example shows the settings required for reading the lines listed below:
0127+098 0000-876 -128+654
The text file contains the values from two channels. The FixedWidthChannelFormatter object specifies that four characters in a text line correspond to one channel value:
Dim oBlock: Set oBlock = File.GetFixedWidthBlock Dim oChannelGroup: Set oChannelGroup = Root.ChannelGroups.Add("Channelgroup") Dim oChn1 : Set oChn1 = oBlock.Channels.Add("Channel1", eI32) oChn1.Formatter.CharacterCount = 4 oChn1.Formatter.SampleWidth = 1 Call oChannelGroup.Channels.AddDirectAccessChannel(oChn1) Dim oChn2 : Set oChn2 = oBlock.Channels.Add("Channel2", eI32) oChn2.Formatter.CharacterCount = 4 oChn2.Formatter.SampleWidth = 1 Call oChannelGroup.Channels.AddDirectAccessChannel(oChn2) oBlock.Position = File.Position
