File=>Import Options

In this box certain settings for the import of Text- and Excel files can be specified.

Column Title as Axis Label

The column title can be used as an axis label. If the check box is clicked, the titles of the axes will be replaced by the appropriate variable name during Import.

Placeholder to create the axis title

If available, UniPlot uses the NC attribute long_name to set the axis title. In this field you can specify how the long_name attribute is created from the channel name and the unit name. Examples: Torque [Nm], Torque in Nm, Torque/Nm, Torque/(Nm) or in two lines.

In the placeholder the channel name is replaced by nnn and the unit name is replaced by uuu.

If you want the name and the unit in two lines insert the characters \n, example: nnn\nin uuu.

Always update legend text of 1D and 2D datasets.

If this option is selected, the legend text will be updated.

Legend Text

Specifies how the legend text is created:

“Channel Name, e.g. BSFC”: Only the last dataset channel name is used, e.g the y- channel name for a 2D dataset.

“NC-Attribute long_name, e.g. BSFC [g/kWh]”: The attribute NC file attribute long_name of the last data channel is used as the legend text.

“Filename plus Channel list, e.g. test.nc (speed, BSFC)”: This is the default type.

Add source file extension to the NC file name

If selected the source file extention is added to the NC file name.

Excel-Files: Add sheet name to the NC file name

Please Note: If the data is loaded from different sheets of the same Excel file and this option is not enabled all NC files will have the same file name. In the data exchange dialog box, only one data file will be displayed. Only disable this option if you load data only from one sheet.

Calculate formulas during data file import

If this option is checked and the formula interpreter is active (see Tools=>Formula Configuration), the formula channels are calculated during the data import.
