Details

Opens the file entitled filename, and gives it a handle filehandle. The handle is used by other Whisker commands (e.g. AnalogueSample) to refer to the file in future.

If the file exists and the –append switch is used, Whisker will try to open the file and append new data to the end. If the file exists and–append is not specified, Whisker will generate an error. To safeguard your data, Whisker will not let you overwrite an existing file.
