ImpWiz-Bin-DataPatternPage
On this page, you define the structure of your binary file by specifying the order, type, and datum per record.
This column is not editable. It displays the column index numbers.
Click and select the data type from the drop-down list (choices are Integer, Unsigned Integer, Real, and String).
Once a data type is chosen, the Size column is automatically filled with typical size for that type (except for string, in which case it is left blank). The Size column text is editable. For instance, the default length for Int is 4, but you can replace this with 2 if you want a Short Int. For strings, you should specify the length in characters.
Use the Count column to specify the number of times data columns of this variable type are repeated in the record.
