Dewesoft X 'Apply action'

Hi

Is there any documentation for the 'Apply action' feature in Dewesoft X sp4?

In particular I would like to export a single channel from multiple files, without having to open each file individually and select the channel.

Is this what 'Apply action' -> 'Exported channels' is for?

Thanks

Matt

"Apply action" is more for applying the settings of one file to another (ie you want to apply the same screen display or the same post maths).

To export one channel from multiple files use "Multifile export" instead.  

Select multiple files, click "Multifile export", then when (if!) a popup window appears, select which channels you want to export.  The problem with this command is that all the files you select must have exactly the same channels and base sample rate ... if they don't then the channel selection window doesn't pop up ..... and there is no indication why it hasn't done so.

I presume that the "exported channels" option in "apply action" should let us apply the list of channels to be exported from one file to several other files..... but I can't make it work!

Manuals for these new functions would certainly be nice to have :-)

Hi,

unfortunately there is no documentation about apply action. 

This function uses reference data file to apply: 

- offline math and displays 

- header data

- averages and offsets

- exported channels (This function will apply which channels will be exported and which not. It will not export files but only prepare them.) 

to the selected files.

To export single channel from multiple files I suggest using "Multifile export" function.

1. select the data files

2. click Multifile export

3. select to which file and which channels will be exported and press "export"

Thanks for the replies.

Nick - I found the same problem as you. I can't do 'multifile export' unless all the files have exactly the same channels etc. I assumed exactly as you did that the 'apply action - exported channels' would allow me to get around this, but couldn't get it to work (either Dewesoft crashes or nothing appears to happen). Should ' apply action - exported channels' work in theory for multiple files some of which have an extra channel?

Thanks again,

Matt
