I am an engineer, familiar with XML etc. My goal is to substitute one rank from one sample set to another - that's all. Here is my issue: I don't see which attributes that I should edit (beyond the unique ID and the required installation package(s). I am aware that the COD files are easier to modify than the XML files, but I must deal directly with the XML files of my installed organs.
Anloo ODF has an object type "Sample" which seems to be the correct place for me to start (I don't care if the console display etc. shows the original stop name). It has an attribute with value "2" after the file name, and the CODM guide doesn't tell me what that means. Please advise.
The CODM files are also XML files, but I assume you mean ODF when you say XML here. If Anloo already supplies a CODM file, substituting one rank from another organ means adding one <rank> tag and changing the corresponding <stoprank> tag to use the substituted rank id, and changing the displayed label in the <stop> tag.
If Strassburg also supplies a CODM, copy and paste its <rank> and edit for a unique rank id, division supplying wind, etc to fit in Anloo. If not, see if any rank parameters are in Strassburg's package installation XML file, which also should give what you need for required installation packages to add the Strassburg package to the Anloo CODM.
If neither organ has a CODM file, starting from one of the example CODM files that comes with HW is harder but can be done.
Sorry, I don't know ODF format. Not trying to ignore your question.
