Hi,

I am using the following to load a single column of data and attempting to set the wave name

LoadWave/A/O/B="N=Nominal;"/J/D/K=0/L={0,21,0,3,1}

When I run this and pick the file the wave gets loaded but with the name "wave0" and not "Nominal" as expected. What is amiss?

Found the answer buried deep in the help file.

I had used the L flag to define which column to load and the /B flag counts all the columns loaded or not.


"You can load a subset of the columns in the file using the /L flag. Even if you do this, the column info specifications that you provide via the /B flag start from the first column in the file, not from the first column to be loaded."
