The Open function is always available

The Open function opens a data file, creates a Dataset and adds the Dataset to the Dataset Selector. Once opened the Dataset becomes the Active Dataset

The file to Open is selected from the Open Dialog Box. There are two types of file that can be opened to create a new dataset.

• Log files (with the file extension .log) contain raw data downloaded from a logger. The data is processed as part of the Open function to create a Dataset. Log files are created by the New and Save functions.
• Derived Dataset Files (with the file extension .dds) Derived Dataset Files are created by the Join function.
