This user control loads a data file so that it can be accessed by the window in which it appears.
You can stop the loading at any point to look at only the first few records in the data file.
When the file has been loaded the number of records is displayed.
If there is an associated verbatim file you will be asked whether you want to load the verbatim data from the Verbatim file.
Usually you will want to access a single data file:
Often the name of the data file required is already shown, in which case the data can be loaded without browsing.
Use this button to find the data file that you want to use.
Use this if the file that you want has already be used in this session or you want a data file that is in the project folder.
This lists any data files previously opened in this session. This also lists all data files with the correct extension found in the project folder, see Data ready list.
Use this to create a new empty data file.
You can choose to make a new CSV data file instead of a fixed format file.
If this is set then the data will be read from the raw data file. If the file is on the data ready list it will be removed and replaced with this new version.
Instead of choosing a single file you can combine a number of existing files and use the combined file, see Data prepare.
NOTE: This option is not always available because it would not be appropriate for some windows that use this control.
