Channel Skip and User-Defined emulations will display the default options (see "About data emulation"
on page54) and a grid-like display of each character on each line. The following emulations however,
will be slightly different.
Database Emulation
The Database emulation exchanges the Browse button for the Database Emulation Configuration
button , which displays the Database Emulation Configuration (see "Database emulation" on
page59).
Once a database has been opened and query entered (see "Choosing a database sample file" on
page64), the Data pane displays the results of the SQL Query in a grid format, which each line rep-
resenting a single returned row from the database. Each column represents a field returned by the
query, with its field name as a row header.
PDF Emulation
l
If you use a PDF emulation, the Data pane displays the data as you would see it in any PDF
reader.
l
A new zoom drop-down list is displayed to let you set the zoom in percentage or fit the PDF to the
window or the width of the window.
l
A new status bar, displaying the (Left, Top) and (Right, Bottom) coordinate pairs, is shown under
the Data pane.
XML Emulation
l
XML data is represented in a tree structure which corresponds to the data in the XML file. Each
node of the XML can be expanded to see the nodes under it. See "XML Emulation" on page62.
Metadata tab
The Metadata tab allows to load a Metadata file and make a selection from it.
The Sample metadata filename is the path to the Metadata file describing the current sample data file.
Buttons on the right can be used to load Metadata from a file or to save the current Metadata to a file.
Tip: To get a sample of the Metadata file, debug your process and step through it until the option
Debug > View Metadata gets enabled. This happens when Metadata have been created by a
task in the process. Open the Metadata viewer and save the Metadata file to use it as a sample
file. Click the Open a meta data file button to open the sample in the Metadata selector.
