Import module

The Import module is used to load data layers into a model. You have to specify an input file and choose at least one input layer before an output port displays on this module.

You can load only one file into an Import module in single execution mode. If you need to load more than one file, either configure the Import module for batch mode or place further Import modules on the canvas.

The Import module displays all available layers by type. The type of input layers you choose determines the types of output ports that display on the module. An output port displays for each type of layer you choose. If you choose more than one type of output layer, a Mixed-type port also displays.

You can load the following data types into the Import module:

• Raster
• Vector
• Bitmap
• Binary
• Georeference
• Lookup table
• Orbit
• Text
• Array
• Math Models
• Signatures
• Pseudocolor table
• Ground control points
