UltraScan Data Loader:
A number of UltraScan III applications load edited
experiment data for processing. These applications use the US_DataLoader
dialog class to allow the user to choose the data.
The dialog presented when a US_DataLoader is executed allows a
list of edited data choices from database or local disk. A Search text
field allows the list to be pared down to those of interest. After a data
set is selected in the list, a Load button passes experiment data to the
caller.

Data Set Selection
Most often, you need not expand the list tree and need only select
the top level run ID description. This effectively selects all triples
for the run and selects the first listed edit for each triple. In the
default case where Latest Data Edit was checked in the calling dialog,
there will be only one edit (the latest) for each triple. If Latest
Data Edit was not checked, there may be multiple edits for triples. In
this case, selecting a Run description or a Triple description effectively
selects the earliest edit(s).
You may, of course, select specific triples of a run.
Similarly, in the case where Lastest Data Edit was not checked, you
may select any edit of a triple.
Note that multiple selections must all be from the same run. Only one
selection is allowed for each triple.
