Thanks Chris!
I guess I didn't explain myself very good, there is one pipe, 60' long, and
at 3' down this pipe there is a thermistor on the surface of the pipe, (CH0),
and at 9.5" away from the pipe there is CH1, at 17.5" there is CH2, at 25.5"
there is CH3, and finally at 33.5" there is CH4. This is repeated at 21'
down the pipe with CH5,CH6,CH7,CH8,CH9. Likewise at 39' and 57' down the
pipe.
The Channels are measuring temperature, in one minute intervals.
Sorry I didn't explain myself better, however I think the explanation you
gave me will help me get where I need to go. Thanks so much, I have had no
luck at finding information on this.
Thanks again!
Fred
Then I would guess that you would rather visualize a 2D grid of
temperatures spanning the pipe. So modify the input data to reflect
both the X (distance down pipe) and Y (distance from pipe) for each
record. Same concept that each record carries all necessary info.
Then you can import all the data at once (not in separate files as
suggested earlier). Use Construct to build a grid of appropriate
dimensions, then feed your 2D data into Construct (properly oriented
with Y changing faster than X), and you can Autocolor and view the
whole colorized grid. ImportSpreadsheet brings all values in as
separate components in a field, so you need to Mark or Extract the
"temperature" component which should be arranged (as I just said)
with Y varying faster (x0y0, x0y1, etc.). Use column names in your
Excel file (save as tab-delimited text, then set header line to 1 and
separator to \t in ImportSpreadsheet) and the components will acquire
the column names making it easy to tell what's what.
