NI Hierarchical Waveform Storage

Groups

Groups are like folders, giving NI-HWS a one-level-deep storage hierarchy. A single HWS file may contain multiple groups. Each group may contain multiple waveforms. A group attribute applies to all the waveforms contained in the group.

When only one group is in a file, the group does not need to be named. If a group is named and is the only one in the file, the name is also not required to access any of the waveforms stored in that group. When two or more groups are in the file, a group name is required.
