My first question is, do I need to use the name "data" for one of the
components?
No (Import doesn't care). But you won't be able to do a lot of things
until you have such a named component.
Now I have created a simple net that Imports the file containing the field
"depthdata", colors it with AutoColor, then displays it with Image. If I
don't specify a value for the input "variable", then I see "data". The same
thing if I set "variable" = "depthdata". This suggests to me that
"variable" in this case means the name of the field. Am I correct?
Yes. But since you only have one field in this case, it's
unnecessary. Besides, if you had more than one, it's often more
useful to create a group of fields, import the group, then Select the
one you want (they are all memory resident in that case). However,
the "variable" setting allows you to pick out one field from a file
that might be too large to import in its entirety (and I'm sure there
are other good uses).
As you might have guessed, I am trying to find out how to look at the other
data component, "depth2". How do I tell Import which data component to
select?
Thanks
