Summary
The DAT to CHOP will create a set of CHOP channels with values derived from a DAT.
Parameters - DAT to Page
DAT dat
- The DAT to be used to retrieve values. This DAT should be in table format. For table format, use either a Table DAT or a Convert DAT set to To Table.

Output output
- ⊞ - Specify the form of the channels output.
- Single Channel
single
- A single channel is created with one sample for every value extracted.
- Channel per Row
chanperrow
- A separate channel is created for every row extracted.
- Channel per Column
chanpercol
- A separate channel is created for every column extracted.
- Channel per Value
chanpervalue
- A separate channel is created for every value extracted.

Parameters - Common Page
Time Slice timeslice
- Turning this on forces the channels to be "Time Sliced". A Time Slice is the time between the last cook frame and the current cook frame.
Scope scope
- To determine which channels get affected, some CHOPs use a Scope string on the Common page.
Sample Rate Match srselect
- ⊞ - Handle cases where multiple input CHOPs' sample rates are different. When Resampling occurs, the curves are interpolated according to the Interpolation Method Option, or "Linear" if the Interpolate Options are not available.
- Resample At First Input's Rate
first
- Use rate of first input to resample others.
- Resample At Maximum Rate
max
- Resample to the highest sample rate.
- Resample At Minimum Rate
min
- Resample to the lowest sample rate.
- Error If Rates Differ
err
- Doesn't accept conflicting sample rates.
Export Method exportmethod
- ⊞ - This will determine how to connect the CHOP channel to the parameter. Refer to the Export article for more information.
- DAT Table by Index
datindex
- Uses the docked DAT table and references the channel via the index of the channel in the CHOP.
- DAT Table by Name
datname
- Uses the docked DAT table and references the channel via the name of the channel in the CHOP.
- Channel Name is Path:Parameter
autoname
- The channel is the full destination of where to export to, such hasgeo1/transform1:tx
.
Export Root autoexportroot
- This path points to the root node where all of the paths that exporting by Channel Name is Path:Parameter are relative to.
Export Table exporttable
- The DAT used to hold the export information when using the DAT Table Export Methods (See above).
