12.11 Data Import and Export

This section describes routines for importing and exporting data into and out of Data Explorer. This includes support for Data Explorer (.dx) files, as well as industry-standard netCDF files.

Data Explorer Format Files

Files in the Data Explorer format (see Chapter 3. "Understanding the Data Model" in IBM Visualization Data Explorer User's Guide) can be imported by the DXImportDX() routine and exported by the DXExportDX() routine.

Object DXImportDX()

Imports data from a Data Explorer file. See DXImportDX.

Object DXExportDX()

Writes an Object to a specified file in a specified Data Explorer format. See DXExportDX.

netCDF Data

Data Explorer can accept industry-standard netCDF files, which describe only a subset of the Data Explorer data model capabilities. For example, netCDF files are limited to regular data. This routine is provided for compatibility with other systems that use netCDF.

Object DXImportNetCDF()

Imports data from a netCDF file. See DXImportNetCDF.
