Function: Opens a file, which can be in either DataLoad or tab delimited file format.
Shortcut: Ctrl + O
Icon: Yes
Notes: DataLoad can read and save files in 2 different formats, native DataLoad and tab delimited.
DataLoad has it's own file format (.dld) which saves the grid contents in tab delimited format but also saves all other DataLoad setup information with the data. This includes all delays, the window name and the description. Use this file format unless you need to exchange data with other applications (see below) to avoid having to re-key this information.
Tab delimited files separate cells with tabs and records with
paragraph marks. These files are useful because they can be read and created by
many programs, E.g. Excel, making them ideal for exchanging data between
applications.
Function: Writes the contents of your datasheet to a file.
