After you have configured the file selection, you can still make settings for write access. If you only want to read from this file, you can simply ignore these settings.
| Template | You can specify a file, this will be used as a template when creating the Excel file. The file name of the template can also contain variables (see 13.3). |
| File options | If the trigger to create the file is executed and the file already exists, you can influence the behaviour with this option. Error: The trigger is aborted with an error. Overwrite file: The existing file is deleted and recreated. Continue file: The file is not recreated and all writes are to the existing file. Append number: A sequential number is appended to the file name and the file is created with the new name. You can set the formatting of the number freely in the text box below. The part in curly brackets ‘{0}’ will be replaced by the number. Examples (number = 10): Format = Result // Description ‘_{0}’ = ‘_10’ ‘_{0:D3}’ = ‘_010’ // (Decimal with 3 digits) ‘ ({0})’ = ‘ (10)’ // (In brackets) ‘ ({0:D2})’ = ‘ (10)’ // (Decimal with 2 digits and in brackets) |
| Performance mode | The performance mode offers the possibility to execute triggers faster. If you activate this option, when the trigger is executed, it is not written to the file immediately, but the data is collected in the working memory and then written to the file together. The trigger is therefore reported as completed before the data has been written to the file. This makes it possible to write data to the file at much shorter intervals. |
