Automation: Obtaining data names

Each OrcaWave data item has its own name that is used to specify it. The names of the data items are based on the corresponding labels used on the data form. To find out the name of a data item, open the appropriate data form, select the data item, and then open the popup menu and select the data names command (or press F7). This displays the name of the selected data item, which you can select and copy directly into a text editor, etc.

If the data item is in a table (or group) of data items, then the data names form displays the names of all the data items in the table. The different columns in the table each have their own names; you then need to add an index to specify which row you want.
