        Parameters:
        inputfile - the input file to generate the setup task. This file can be read to extract information for options.

      • getStatusMessage

        public final String getStatusMessage()
        Informs about the status of the reader. If the reader is ready to provide a SetupTask, it should return IDAREDatasetReader.IS_READY. If the reader is set up (i.e. getSetupTask completed successfully) it should return IDAREDatasetReader.IS_SET_UP
        Returns:
        information, where the process of reading failed, or IS_READY
