Ok, some more info on the Preset Text File component.
As was highlighted in the Part 1 thread, the loading process does not create new programs. You need to have already allocated enough programs in your preset manager to accommodate the data from the text file. I just wanted to make that clear in case of confusion.
Now, an additional feature of the component is that it can be used to save and load the order of preset parameters when displayed in a host. If you set the Order input on the Preset Text File component to True then when exporting all programs you'll get an additional Order column in the text file. The numbers in the column define the relative ordering of parameters with the lowest numbered parameters appearing highest on the list. When parameters share the same order number they will be ordered alphabetically.
To change the order just change the numbers in the order column. Save the text file and load it back into your schematic. Note that an order value of –1 indicates that when you load the text file the ordering will not be updated for that parameter.
It’s worth noting that this change to the ordering means that if you don’t bother to set it up (it’s not mandatory) all your preset parameters will now be sorted alphabetically when exported. This is a change to the previous behaviour where the parameters order depended on when the components were added to the schematic (which was very unpredictable and not very useful).
As always, please do post or email any questions you may have.
