The file selected for import must be formatted as an Isight name/value file or a full parameter definition file. One way to generate a correctly formatted file is to export parameter values (as described in Exporting Parameter Information) and edit the generated file. This process ensures that you are using the correct file format. If you want to create your own name/value file, see About Name/Value Files for specific criteria. For name/value files, only parameters whose names exactly match parameters listed in the name/value file are imported. If a selected parameter’s name does not appear in the file, the parameter’s value is left unchanged. Similarly, a name/value pair in the file is ignored if there is no selected parameter of that name on the Parameters tab. Note: Case-sensitivity is not considered when importing parameter values. For example, Isight considers parameter1 and Parameter1 as being the same parameter. You can also import individual array elements. To import individual array elements, the name/value file must contain one line per element, with the name portion equal to the array name followed by the element subscript. For full parameter definition files, the data must be in a table format with a header row of attribute names (e.g., name, type, lower, etc.) and a row for each parameter. If you are importing from Microsoft Excel, the data must be on the first sheet and must start in cell A1. When importing array elements, the array index must be included on the end of the name for the row representing that element. For example, myArray[5] (not all elements need to be included). |
