Additional Information on the DIF File

Use this dialog box to specify the settings for importing DIF data.

Note  To import DIF data, you must register the GPI-DLL GFSDIF.DLL first. For more information about GPI-DLLs, refer to Registering GPI Extensions.
Note  You can transfer the comments of a DIF file directly into the data set properties and the channel properties. If a DIF file contains the optional set types LABEL, COMMENT and DISPLAYUNITS, DIAdem moves these set types into the channel name, the channel comment and the channel unit.
