Example: Source block

Each type of source block will be imported and configured in a different way. These examples show one type of discrete source and one type of continuous source.

Example 1: Discrete text source

Initial text source:

Configuration:

Source selection: Discrete text source

Source configuration: Select the required file.

Source index: Create new index

Source quality: Create Quality

- Create a master quality column
- Create a quality column for each field

Resulting dataset:

Example 2: Continuous text source - with timestamp alignment

Initial text source:

Configuration:

Source selection: Text source

Source configuration: Continuous text source file.

In the [Timestamp] tab: ensure that the correct timestamp fields are matched to the correct configured fields.

Set one timestamp field as default.

Source timestamp: Create timestamp - Create master timestamp with timestamp alignment.

Source quality: Create Quality: Create Master Quality

Resulting dataset:

Example 3: Continuous text source - without timestamp alignment

Initial text source:

Configuration:

Source selection: Text source

Source configuration: Continuous text source file. In this example:

In the [Timestamp] tab: ensure that the correct timestamp fields are matched to the correct configured fields.

Set one timestamp field as default.

Source timestamp: Create timestamp - Create master timestamp and Create a timestamp for each field. Timestamp alignment then becomes disabled.

Source quality: Create Quality: Create Master Quality

Resulting dataset:
