If you wish to add csi data, you need to secify the directory where the data is located. If the data is csv ascii data, csv must be checked:
You then press Contracts in the above directory. You will be prompted for a directory. When you select the directory, all the dta files (or csv) in the directory will be added to the database.
If you press Directories, then it will act the same as pressing Contracts, but all the files in all directories in the selected directory and below will be added.
You now have the option of using csv files as data files directly. Press Use csv. With this option, san files are not created. The advantage of using san files is the option of having the files updated. With this option, the files are not updated. Furthermore, you will not be able to change the time frame (hourly, weekly, etc.). Instead, the files are read as they are.
