I am trying to create a trivial HDF5 formatted file with HDFView. I created 4 datasets of single diminsion with 1 item and unlimited max size each for testing.
I assumed I could load the data using import data from file, but that doesn't seem to work.
Am I attempting to do something not intended? Otherwise what approch should I use?
Thanks,
Jonathan
Hi Jonathan,
Could you be more specific how you did it?
Thanks

Thanks for replying... this is the path I thought would let me create a test HDF5 file with 4 datasets and importing
data from a file...
HDFView:
1) New -> HDF5 (Test.h5)
2) Right click on Test.h5, New -> Dataset
Dataset Name: Sensor1
Datatype class: Float, Size: native, Byte ordering: native
Number of diminsions: 1, Current size: 1, Set max size: unlimited
Storage layout: Contiguous
No compression
3) added 3 more datasets similarly as above, Sensor2, Sensor3, Sensor4
4) selected item 0
5) Double-click on Sensor1 dataset
6) From Sensor1, Table -> Import Data from File, open the selected file
containing 10 measurements: 0.00 0.01 0.03 0.30 0.60 0.99 1.11 1.21 1.74 1.88
"Do you want to paste selected data?" <Yes>
Nothing happens. I was expecting (hoping for) imported data to populate the 1-dim table.
Was this a bogus approach?
Thanks again, 
Jonathan

Jonathan,
Importing data will not extend the size of a dataset, only copies the data to the
current size.
Try to set the current size to 10 when you creating the dataset.
