The Data Selector uses the emulation (either the emulation chosen when the sample data file
was selected, or the one chosen in the last Change Emulation action task appearing above
the current task) to format the data. It displays the formatted data to let you make selections
easily using the mouse pointer.
Depending on the chosen emulation and data file, the options in the Data Selector, the Sample
data file section and the Data pane itself may change to accommodate your choice. The Line
Printer, Ascii, Channel Skip and User-Defined emulations will display the default options (see
the Emulation section)and a grid-like display of each character on each line. The following
emulations however, will be slightly different.
Database Emulation
l
The Database emulation changes the Browse button( ) for the Database Emulation
Configuration button ( ), which displays the Database Emulation Configuration (see
Database Emulation).
l
Once a database has been opened and query entered, the Data pane displays the results
of the SQLQuery in a grid format, which each line representing a single returned row from
the database. Each column represents a field returned by the query, with its field name as
a row header.
XMLEmulation
l XMLdata is represented in a tree structure which corresponds to the data in the XMLfile.
Each node of the XMLcan be expanded to see the nodes under it. See XML Data
Emulations.
PDF Emulation
l
If you use a PDF emulation, the Data pane displays the data as you would see it in any
PDFreader.
l A new zoom drop-down list is displayed to let you set the zoom in percentage or fit the
PDFto 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.
