Brief introduction to the *.xml data format
An *.xml file contains XML elements, whose names are in brackets. Normally, an XML element starts with the start tag <NAME> and ends with the end tag </NAME>. For example, the procedure parameters file contains the comprehensive XML element <PROCEDURES>.
An XML element may contain further XML elements between the two tags. Thus, the XML elements are structured hierarchically. In the procedure parameter file, the XML element <PROCEDURES> includes the two secondary XML elements <OPERATIONS> and <FUNCTIONS>.
The start tag of an XML element may contain XML attributes coding information on the XML element. They have the structure NAME ="Value" and follow the name of the XML element, separated by a blank each. For example, the XML element <PROCEDURES> contains the XML attribute VERSION="3".
|
Notes: For a better overview, subordinate XML elements are indented compared to their superior XML element. Some of the browsers allow for hiding and showing subordinate elements of an XML element, use the sign next to the start tag for toggling. An element without subordinate elements does not necessarily need an end tag. The spelling is <NAME/>. |
Structure of the procedure parameters file *.xml
The procedure parameters file contains the comprehensive XML element <PROCEDURES>. This contains the two subordinate XML elements <OPERATIONS> and <FUNCTIONS>. The XML element <OPERATIONS> describes the settings in the Procedure sequence window, whereas the XML element <FUNCTIONS> describes the settings in the General procedure settings window.
The XML element <OPERATIONS> contains the subordinate elements with the name <OPERATION>. These code a row of the procedure sequence each, and thus either a procedure or a group header. Each of the XML elements <OPERATION> has the following XML attributes: NO (consecutive number), OPERATIONTYPE (Name of the procedure or "Group") and COMMENT (Comment).
If the XML element <OPERATION> codes a procedure, it has the attribute ACTIVE additionally, which indicates whether the procedure is active or not. If the XML element <OPERATION> codes a group, it has the attribute ISEXPANDED, which indicates whether the procedures of the group are faded in or out. Some XML elements contain further XML attributes, e.g. those coding the specific selected procedure variant.
XML elements <OPERATION> coding procedures with further settings have subordinate elements with specific XML attributes.
The end of the settings description for the Procedure sequence window is indicated by the end tag </OPERATIONS>.
The XML element <FUNCTIONS> codes the settings in the General procedure settings window. For each navigator entry, a subordinate element is stored.
|
Note: All of the XML elements and also the XML attributes of the procedure parameters are named in English (Overview of the XML elements and XML attributes). |
