File
Check Write File to cause an output file to be created. The file will be created
in the same directory as the source file. The base name will be the same as the
source name with the new format prepended. For example, test.dat becomes
TOA5_test.dat. Use the drop-down list to select the format of the new file.
For all output options except TOACI1, the browse button to the right of the
field becomes available and can be pressed to set additional file output options.
File Naming
Date Time Filename – When this option is selected, the date and time of the
first record of data in the file will be appended to the end of the base file name.
The suffix includes a four digit year, a two digit month, a two digit day of
month, and a four digit hour/minute. When this option is selected, Use Day of
Year becomes available. If this option is selected, the Julian day (day of year)
will be used in the suffix instead of the month and day of the month.
Create New Filenames – When the Create New Filenames option is selected,
File Format Convert will add a _1 to the filename, if a file of the same name is
found (e.g., TOA5_Mydata_1.dat). If a *_1.dat file is found, the file will be
named with a _2 suffix. If the Create New Filenames check box is cleared and
a file with the same name is found, you will be offered the option to Overwrite
the existing file or Cancel the conversion. (Note that if any of the baling
options are selected, new filenames will automatically be created as described
below.)
Missing Records
If Timestamps are checked (see Check section above), then missing records
can be filled. These will be Null records. A timestamp and record number will
be added. Values will be “NAN”. Strings will be empty. etc.
Just Log – Missing records are not filled.
Fill Null Records – All missing records are filled.
Prompt – Shows what records are missing and lets you choose to fill or not. If
you have big gaps (e.g. bad timestamp), filling can be quite slow.
Bale based on
This allows a file to be broken into smaller files. A new file is started based
on:
Time – A new file is created based on interval.
Remove Marks – A new file is created when a remove mark is found in the
data file (TOB3 only).
File Marks – A new file is created when a file mark is found in the data files
(TOB3 and TOB2 only).
