Triton BathyPro - Manual (Page 39)

As you click a different “item #n” entry, the contents of the Position,
Description, and Unit boxes change to match the highlighted item. If there are
no items to click, you will be creating them fresh.
To assign a description
1. In the raw data window, visually identify the first variable you wish to
extract and note how it is delimited.
In Figure 12, for example, the string 07/07/2000 is a date delimited in
three parts: month, day, and year. Each part is delimited by the virgule (/)
character. If the date is a variable to be extracted in this example, then
the first 07 will be item #1 occupying position 01 in the mappable
“item #n” window, the second 07 will be item #2 in position 02, and 2000
will be item #3 in position 03.
2. Do one of the following:
If item #1 exists, click it to highlight it.
The Position, Description, and Unit windows are updated with the
information shown for the item #1 entry.
If item #1 does not exist, type 1 in the Position window.
3. Whether you typed or highlighted the position of interest, now select a
description appropriate for the variable you associated with this position.
You can select one of 14 parameters from the Description combination
box.
To assign a unit and format
1. For the description you assigned, now select an appropriate unit from the
Unit combination box. The combination box has 25 different units/formats.
Your variable now has a complete definition.
2. Click Add/Replace to insert your item in the “item #n” window.
Your variable is now mapped.
To complete the list of items
1. For each variable you are going to extract, continue to map them as items
having a position, description, and unit.
2. Click Add/Replace for each new mapped item you create.
