1Blurb:: 2Selects annotated tabular file format for experiment data 3 4Description:: 5 6An annotated tabular file is a whitespace-separated text file with one 7leading header row of comments/column labels. For experiment data 8files, each subsequent row contains an experiment ID, followed by data 9for configuration variables, observations, and/or observation errors, 10depending on context. 11 12<b> Default Behavior </b> 13 14By default, Dakota imports tabular experiment data files in annotated 15format. The \c annotated keyword can be used to explicitly specify 16this. 17 18<b> Usage Tips </b> 19 20\li Prior to October 2011, calibration and surrogate data files were 21in free-form format. They now default to \c annotated format, though \c 22freeform remains an option. 23 24\li When importing tabular data, a warning will be generated if a 25specific number of data are expected, but extra is found and an error 26generated when there is insufficient data. 27 28Topics:: file_formats 29Examples:: 30 31Import an annotated experimental data file containing a header row, leading 32exp_id column, and experiment data in a calibration study 33 34\verbatim 35responses 36 ... 37 scalar_data_file 'shock_experiment.dat' 38 annotated 39\endverbatim 40 41Example data file with two measured quantities, three experiments: 42\verbatim 43%exp_id velocity stress 441 18.23 83.21 452 34.14 93.24 463 22.41 88.92 47\endverbatim 48 49 50Theory:: 51Faq:: 52See_Also:: 53
