Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to read data from a file stored within Kanzi and use it as a "data source" in a Kanzi executable.

Specifically, the goal is to record vehicle data to a file, save it locally, and then read from that file within the Kanzi application.

Thanks in advance for your help!

  This is entirely possible with the use of Kanzi and the Data sources. 
  You would need to create or write a plugin that would either create or read the data, and then in Kanzi you would use this data however you need it to be used. 
  
  You mentioned you wanted to record data from a vehicle, so for instance the vehicle speed. This data can be recorded by some means and exported to a file. The file can be an xml file, csv, json, ect. Then in Kanzi all that is required is to write a plugin, that tells Kanzi how to interpret the data that exists in the file. 
  The following Kanzi tutorial how this can be done using an XML data source. 
  https://docs.kanzi.com/3.9.12/en/tutorials/data-sources/data-sources.html
  
  
  The tutorial shows the connection between the file, and Kanzi. However the file can be updated whenever or however it needs to be and the connection to Kanzi will still remain the same. 
  I hope this helps.
