TableDrivenBlock Editor-TableDrivenActionList Editor/en
The table driven block data editor is used to set the values generated by a table driven block. It can be found on the "Data" tab after selecting a table driven block in the navigation tree.
To the right, you see an example for some data in the editor.

Usage[Bearbeiten]
The editor is separated into a number of columns, one for each input pin of the table driven block, which is executed by the table driven block. The data columns are filled with datatype specific values and should be filled in as required.
When the block is invoked during an execution, it will send the data from the list to the input pins of the underlying "slave block" and execute it in a loop, once for each set of values (i.e. each row specifies the input values for one run).
Importing Existing Data Sets from a CSV File[Bearbeiten]
Click on the "Open External CSV Editor" icon. This opens an editor application as defined in the "External Tools" settings dialog. We recommend, to set this to a CSV-capable editor, such as excel or ocalc (from the OpenOffice suite). There, load or fill in the rows, save and close the application. If you do not have a CSV-editor installed, specify an ordinary text editor in the settings (vi, emacs, notpad or notepad+), edit the file as above, and paste the CSV rows as text. Then save and finish the editor.
See Also[Bearbeiten]
As an alternative to a table driven block, you can also create a compound block, place the slave block into its network, and feed its input pins from a test data generator block, or a CSV attachment.
