 > Here is an example of what that string could be (single quotes used instead of double quotes to make it easier to use in a string):
 ''<Version id='1' name='2020' headerRow='true'><externalId name='#' index='0' /><legend name='Name' index='1' /><time name='Start' index='2' format=%%''%% /></Version>'' (again the angled brackets need to be written as entities ''&lt;'' and ''&gt;'' when using this).
-> There is also an XML file included with the personality library (e.g. ''C:\Program Files\Avolites\Titan\FixtureLibrary\MarkerImportMapping.xml'') which includes multiple options that can be selected in the UI in the context menu. There is also the provision for a similar file to be in the user fixture library directory.

-> You should recognise the Version section as the bit being passed into the function. Perhaps if the string contained "Reaper", "Reaper:2020" or "reaper:1" it ought to be able to lookup the appropriate mapping from the library.
   * **csvFilePath** is the absolute path (including filename) to the file which is to be imported, e.g. ''"C:\Users\{username}\Documents\Titan\Markers\test.csv"''.
