Neither OLang nor the SDK allow access to or modification of the core OT functional interfaces.l, other than input parameters. The existing popup boxes for parameters are the scope you need to work with.

Either OLang or the SDK can be used to read an external text file, parse it, and plot any numeric info from it on a chart (you can’t plot Alpha labels).

Doing this in OLang is awkward because of Parser limitations, but I’ve found ways to both read and write text files. I wouldn’t try to deal with an XLS file - stick to TXT.

Using the SDK, since it’s full dotNet, you may be able to more readily read/write XLS. However I haven’t tried that.

Hope this helps clarify things. There have been many requests on the table for years to do small and large enhancements to OLang, but nothing has happened (likely since few use it and changes like that would take a lot of programmer hours and net them little to no income)
