Post Value - External Data

Posted data values represent one of the simplest ways of displaying data in plan view. The value is posted with a leader pointing to the location.

This routine generates post values from point data stored in text files. Each record has the X-Y coordinates and a data value. The files can be comma-delimited or space-delimited. The control options are the same as the post data options used with measured data from a database.

To create a post data plot using external data, click Plot> External Data from the main menu and select Plan Post. The Post Observations dialog box opens. Modify the properties on the Query tab, Format tab, and Options tab as desired. Click the OK button to save changes.
