Section 8. Working with Data Files on the PC

When you start Split a blank template similar to the one above is shown. This

template is used to enter the parameters that will define what data from the

input file to include in the output file. The parameters entered on this template

can be saved as a parameter file (*.PAR) and reused for other data.

On the

INPUT FILE tab you only need to specify the input file name, copy

condition, and the data to select. Split allows start and stop conditions to be

specified but if they are left blank, the entire file will be read.

The name of the Input Data File can be typed in or the

Browse button can be

used to select from available files. In this example BirchCreek.dat will be

selected as the input data file.

Selecting the data to copy is simplified by the use of the Birch.fsl file. From

the toolbar menu, click Labels | Use Data Labels. From the Data File Labels

pop-up, Select File is used to find Birch.fsl. When one of the Output Arrays is

highlighted, the Field Names of the data in that array are displayed.

In this example, a mixed array data file is processed and the Use

Data Labels feature uses an FSL file. When processing a table-

based datalogger file, change the file type to “Table-based data

file to use for labels” and select the table-based DAT file. Split

will use the header information from this file for its labels.
