DIAdem VIEW - How to display text channel data?

[UKCraig]

Hi all,

I have several channels of data, one of which is a text channel. The channel usually contains an empty sting or novalue but occasionally contains a short string.

I'm aware I can display the text in a channel table but this doesn't work for me.

How can I display the text on a 2D axis system?

Thanks,

Craig

Hi Craig,

You didn't mention your DIAdem version.  In recent DIAdem versions you can click on the [...] button to the right of the curve configuration in the dialog and then choose the "Label" tab to select the string channel.  I verified that this worked all the way back to DIAdem 2014.  Perhaps the feature existed prior to DIAdem 2014, I'm not sure.

Hi Brad,

Thanks for the pointer, I never would have found it without your help!

Doesn't matter now but I'm using 2015 SP2.

Thanks,

Craig

I'm running DIAdem 15.0.2f6347 Service Pack 2 (32-bit) and wish to display the contents of a Txt channel on a Report sheet.  The datagroup is MetaProperties and the channel is Gen_Description.
