i'd like to save and load variables like with programs like now:
setup -> file -> save variable
in csv or ods/xls (open document/excel) format.
how do others see this?
saving variables anytime?

Is this for 1 variable, or all variables at once?Krauts In Space wrote: ↑Sat May 26, 2018 1:28 pmi'd like to save and load variables like with programs like now:

For 1, this seems a lot of s/w work, rather than just writing it down.
For all variables at once, I can agree that saving to CSV would be a handy way to extract results for further analysis, storage or presentation (in charts or documents), however since most other programs (including Excel, as far as I know) can't use reals with 34 digits of precision, some truncation is likely needed to make them usable.

Sounds like you might want a "print to file" option

Re: saving variables anytime?
that would nice - perhaps. for the moment I'd be happy to create a larger matrix, fill it with data, and load it into the DM42 and vice versa.

Saving variables, matrices at least, is indeed planned for a future firmware version.
There are only 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who do not.

Re: saving variables anytime?
That's great - I'm assuming "loading" matrices is also planed. This would be great
for the Fonts matrix. Just generate the Font matrix once, save it and
then load it as required.
Besides saving/loading matrices or other variables, I would also
love to see the chaining of programs from memory.
Maybe something like: XEQ <filename> would load a program from memory
into a temporary storage space, and then execute it. This would allow
for individual modules to be developed and then used as needed.
Just a thought.

Re: saving variables anytime?
Awesome, glad to hear that's on the to-do list. It's pretty high on my list of wants.
Tab-delimited format seems like it would be the easiest format for import/export, since you don't have to worry about quoting values with a comma in them (making the parsing simpler), and thus you could export numeric values with either a period or comma (depending on the current radix setting), and just import either format regardless of setting.
