 Function - Apply the values of a column from a recipe file.

Inputs

Outputs

Output	Data Type	Range	Unit	Description
OK	BOOL			TRUE if OK. FALSE if parameters are invalid.

Remarks

• The FILE input is a constant string expression specifying the path name of a valid .CSV or .RCP file.
  • If no path is specified, the file is assumed to be located in the project folder.
  • CSV files are created using Excel or Notepad.
  • RCP files are created using an external recipe editor.
• In CSV files, the first line must contain column headers, and is ignored during compiling.
  • There is one variable per line.
  • The first column contains the symbol of the variable.
    • Other columns are values.
• If a cell is empty, it is assumed to be the same value as the previous (left side) cell.
  • If it is the first cell of a row, it is assumed to be null (0 or FALSE or empty string).

• 
  

• Recipe files are read at compiling time and are embedded into the downloaded application code.
  This implies that a modification performed in the recipe file after downloading is not taken into account by the application.
