Raptor:Data Logging File Seek
Return to the main Raptor page
Description
This block is used to change the current location of the file accessor in a file. The location is changed relative to the parameter:the start of the file, the current location in a file, or the end of the file. The offset indicates the distance, in bytes, for the location to be changed. It indicates whether or not the position change was successful.
As with many of the other datalogging and file I/O Raptor blocks, this block takes a file handle as an input, and propagates the same file handle through the block logic to an output of the block. By connecting the File Handle output of file I/O block 'X' to the File Handle input of file I/O block 'Y', application designers can ensure that the logic executed by block Y will be performed after the logic executed by block X.
