Curve File Import/Export notes

As needed, import (load) or export (save) a thermistor or non-linear curve file in xml format using the Import and Export buttons in the either the Tabular Thermistor Dialog ) for a “Tabular Thermistor” conversion, or Generic Tabular Dialog for a “Generic Tabular” conversion.

When you do this, the standard File Chooser dialog appears, as shown below.

To import a thermistor curve file, navigate to the xml folder in the kitIo module (Jar) file in your modules (My Modules). Or, navigate to any other location you have a thermistor curve file. Import any other saved, custom non-linear conversion .xml files the same way.

 
NOTE: The source .xml file for importing a thermistor or non-linear curve is not required to be in any installed module, either on the target JACE or your Workbench PC. However, as a convenience, a few standard thermistor curve files are included in the kitIo module. Additional ones may be added in future builds.
 

As of the date of this document, the kitIo module contains an xml folder with five (5) different thermistor curves in xml format, as follows:

  • precon_type_2_model_24.xml — For Precon type 2 model 24 sensor
  • precon_type_4_model_42.xml — For Precon type 4 model 42 sensor
  • rs271_0110.xml — For Radio Shack sensor model 271-0110
  • te6300_10k — For TE-6300 10K type sensor
  • type_3.xml — For standard Type-3 Thermistor sensor

    Upon any curve file import, all existing thermistor or non-linear curve configuration for that Nrio point is overwritten (replaced by configuration in the imported file). A confirmation dialog advises you of this before you import.

To export a curve .xml file, use the File Chooser to navigate to any location you wish to save the current thermistor or non-linear curve configuration, and supply a File Name. You can use this saved .xml file in the configuration of any other like Nrio proxy point, whether in this station or another station.
