1. Select DIAdem SCRIPT.

2. Select File»New»VBS Script to create a new script.

3. Enter or copy the following text into the script editor:

   VBScript

   Dim oMyPropTemplate
   UsePropTemplate = 1 'Activates the custom property templates
   Set oMyPropTemplate = Data.Settings.CustomPropertyTemplate
   Call oMyPropTemplate.ChannelProperties.Add("MyChnProp", 2) 'Adds a custom property template for channels
   Call oMyPropTemplate.ChannelGroupProperties.Add("MyChnGrpProp", 5) 'Adds a custom property template for channel groups
   Call Data.Root.Clear() 'Deletes the internal data
   Call DataFileLoad(DataReadPath & "Example.tdm") 'Loads the example data set
   	

   Copy script

   UsePropTemplate = 1 #Activates the custom property templates
   oMyPropTemplate = dd.Data.Settings.CustomPropertyTemplate 
   oMyPropTemplate.ChannelProperties.Add("MyChnProp", 2) #Adds a custom property template for channels
   oMyPropTemplate.ChannelGroupProperties.Add("MyChnGrpProp", 5) #Adds a custom property template for channel groups
   dd.Data.Root.Clear() #Deletes the internal data
   dd.DataFileLoad(dd.DataReadPath + "Example.tdm") #Loads the example data set
