Hello,
We were trying to make use of the rtmaps.csv package, and the CSVImporer component in it. We made a simple CSV with 2 columns and a data point in each. When we load this in the component, it parses and creates the correct outputs.
However, when we run it, RTMaps crashes. We’re wondering if there are any examples to look at how the component should be used.
We’re mainly confused about the Timestamp properties, and whether that requires a special column in our CSV file.
Thanks!
If you have the the CSV Importer’s Replay Mode set to Timestamp or Immediate you must provide a Timestamp as the first column in your .csv file. An example CSV would be:
1000, 1, 2, 3,
2000, 4, 5, 6
3000, 7, 8, 9
4000, 10, 11, 12
This would output data at 1000 ms, 2000 ms, and so on
If you don’t have timestamps in your CSV, you can set Replay Mode to Periodic and specify an output period.
Your error is likely because you have “Use first column as timestamp” set to False and “Replay Mode” set to “Timestamp” so the component has no way to discern the timestamp of the data to output.
Hello dparikh,
What component are you using ? Is it the csv_importer component in standard packages, or the AdvancedCsvImporter in component in package csv ?
Additionally, can you please provide the diagram and a CSV causing the error so we can investigate ?
Regards
