Loading IDT Files

Command: File -> Load -> IDT Format...

It is recommended to use the IDT format for day-to-day work, since this format is most convenient and contains additional information on the current setup of the data diagrams.

This dialog for loading files provides more information on the data files than common Windows file dialogs. In addition to the filename, the dialog shows the date of the last modification. The list of available files can be sorted by any column by simply clicking the corresponding heading.

In the case you have a high number of data files you may want to narrow down the list of files by filling in the file filter field. This should help to find a particular file more easily. If the filter text is not empty all files are shown which contain the text in the filename.

In order to select any file which is located outside the working directory of DataLab you can invoke the common Windows file dialog box by clicking the button Use Windows Explorer.
