Section 8. Working with Data Files on the PC

To process these files using the C option, the parameter file would be set up as

follows (assuming the name of our data file is Data_1.DAT):

First Input File = Data_1.DAT:1

Stop condition = C,1[200]

Copy = 1[100]

Select = 1,2,3,4

Second Input File = Data_1.DAT:2

Stop condition = C,1[200]

Copy = 1[101]

Select = 1,2,3

Third Input File = Data_1.DAT:3

Stop condition = C,1[200]

Copy = 1[102]

Select = 1,2,3,4,5

Fourth (“end of test”) Input File = Data_1.DAT:4

Stop condition = C,1[200]

Copy = 1[200]

Select = (leave blank)

The :(number) after the data file name is inserted automatically by

Split.

When Split is run, the resulting data file will look similar to TABLE 8-3. Each

line of data represents one test. Notice that blanks were inserted if the data set

(conditional array) did not exist.

8.2.3.1.4.2 Trigger on Stop Condition (F Option) Output of Time Series

The Trigger on Stop Condition, or F option, changes the function of the Stop

Condition when one or more Time Series functions (Section 8.2.3.1.11, Time

Series Functions, Details, and Examples) are contained in the Select field.

When a Stop Condition is met, the time series data is calculated and written to

the output file. However, instead of stopping at this point, processing resumes

and time series data is output the next time the Stop Condition is met. This

continues until the end of file or until the user stops Split manually.

The Trigger on Stop Condition is enabled by clicking

Other… on the Output

Tab and checking the box next to the Trigger on Stop Condition field. When

the Trigger on Stop Condition is enabled, the function affects all files being

processed that have a Stop Condition specified. If multiple files are being

processed but it is desired that the function affect one or morebut not allof

the files, the F option is used in the Stop Condition field of the files that you

want processed using the function. The syntax for the F option is: F,e

i

[val

i

].
