You can enable or disable further settings for the import of data files in the Options . For further information on the import see Importing data files.

Erase overlapping data before importing

If enabled, all data in the HD store that overlaps with the data in the data file is removed before the import is executed.

If deletion is required, no write processes are possible in the HD store during this time. Therefore, only enable the option if there is no online recording by ibaPDA on the relevant HD store.

Limit throughput to ... MB/s

If enabled, the data throughput during import is limited to the set value. This can be useful if data from online acquisition is written to the relevant destination store at the same time.

Import info fields as text channel

If enabled, you can convert info fields from the data file into text channels and assign them to a module with the set number and name.

You can freely select the module number and module name. The module number may not already be contained in the data file.

To create a text channel, proceed as follows:

  1. Click the <+> button.

  2. Open the drop-down list in the Info field column and select the desired info field. The system's own info fields as well as all configured text channels are displayed.

  3. If required, you can also give the text channel a plain text name in the Channel name column, under which the text channel is managed in the HD server.
