A.3 Specifications of the DVS Capture List File
The Batch record mode of the I/O Tool uses a capture list file to gather
the batch information for the record operation. The list can be saved
and loaded by the I/O Tool, and it can be arranged manually via the se-
lection area of this mode (see section “Preparing a Batch” on
page 5-53). The following explains the particular format of the capture
list file.
The capture list must match the following properties:
– The first line will not be evaluated by the I/O Tool. Usually, it is used
for the captions of the columns. The different captions are sepa-
rated by a [TAB] each.
– All following lines represent a new clip (row) in the capture list
table.
– The different entries in a line representing a clip are also separated
each by a [TAB].
The I/O Tool awaits the batch data in the following order:
To write or alter a capture list you may use a standard text ed-
itor. However, because the capture list file is structured in lines
and the different fields are separated by tabs, other programs
may also be suited to edit a capture list file manually, for in-
stance, a spreadsheet or database program.
