DADiSP Software
Modules - DADiMP
Stand Alone Data Import Module
 DADiMP
is a separate, standalone software module that extends the DADiSP importing
functionality, allowing you to import data files with sophisticated formats.
DADiMP imports your ASCII or Binary data files directly into DADiSP's
Labbook data structure without actually running the DADiSP program.
Unlike DADiSP's standard internal IMPORT feature, DADiMP is run from
the operating system command line or from a batch file or shell script.
Because DADiMP and DADiSP are completely decoupled, DADiMP can run remotely,
on a separate data collection computer. By providing direct, non-interactive
access to your data files, DADiMP lets you automate, speed up and simplify
your standard data collection operations.

New Features
Previous versions limited the total file size to 2GB. DADiMP 5.0 uses
a 64 bit file index to enable handling of very large files. Although each
individual series in a file is limited to 2GB, the total file size is
now essentially unlimited (file sizes in the terabytes). Thus, a data
file can now contain any number of series where each series can be up
to 2GB in length.
In addition, previous versions of DADiMP import series one at a time,
creating overhead in large interlaced files where DADiMP would take a
separate pass through the data file for every series imported. DADiMP
5.0 keeps header info and buffers for as many series as possible and imports
all of them in a single pass through the file, greatly improving performance
on large interlaced files.
Because the DADiMP code base is fully integrated with DADiSP, all new
header keywords supported by DADiSP are automatically supported by DADiMP
5.0, including byte swapping, integer byte size, binary data types, date/time
formats and dozens of others to simplify the importing of 3rd party ASCII
and binary file formats.
DADiMP 5.0 New Features Summary
- 64 Bit File Index supports Terabyte File Sizes
- Optimised ASCII and Binary Interlaced Data Importing
- Full DADiSP Header Format and Keyword Support
