Deleting Equations

[PStarbuck]

I have a project where I would like to clean up the list of equations in the Generate > Y=F(X,Y1,Y2,...) window equation pulldown window. When I delete the equation in the window, it reappears again. How do I delete them permanently?

I'm not sure I understand why you want to, but the only way to get rid of them (other than replacing them with newer equations) is to edit %appdata%\dplot\dplot.ini. They're found in the [Equations] section.

PS: And that change won't show up unless you exit DPlot, edit the file, then restart DPlot.

What I would like to do is have a DPLot file that contains the unique transfer functions for each Datalogger. The differences in this case are that each unit has unique calibration coefficients for each channel. I would like to be able to open a previously saved DPlot file or a unique configuration file and import the data from a new test.


I now understand how DPlot.ini works. Is there a way to have separate DPlot.ini files that I could call up to process the data from a particular datalogger?

No, sorry. I suppose I could save the same [Equations] section to preference files (File>Get/Save Preferences), but I think most of the time this would be inappropriate and unwanted. Maybe a better answer is to add an option to Y=f(X,Y1,Y2,...) and similar commands to save the currently-entered equation along with the other parameters on that screen to a file, and let you read from that file later. I'll have to give this some thought.

That sounds like it would accomplish what I am trying to do. In this case I would have five3 files, one for each instrument and then open the appropriate file to process the data stored in that instrument.
