Description

This X-Function is used to connect to multiple files at a time. Currently limited connector types are supported: CSV, Excel, MATLAB, HDF, NetCDF Connectors + Import Filter for workbook; Matlab, HDF, and NetCDF Connectors for matrix. The dialog supports choosing specified files or all files in a specified folder. For some types like the CSV Connector, you can specify the import of multiple files into the same workbook. You do this by selecting Open Dialog for First File which opens the Connector dialog allowing you to specify the import settings. All remaining files will follow these settings.
