Appendix B. Campbell Scientific File Formats
B.4.5 TOB32.EXE
The TOB32.EXE command line utility is installed by default in the LoggerNet
program directory at C:\Program Files\Campbellsci\Loggernet\tob32.exe. The
output is similar to CardConvert. Command line switches are used to
determine the new file format that will be created. Some of the basic switches
available are listed below:
-h or -? | Help
-a | ASCII (TOA5) Generates CSI Table Oriented ASCII version 5
format files
-b | Binary (TOB1) Generates CSI Table Oriented Binary version 1
format files
Some examples using these switches include:
tob32.exe -a mydata.dat (converts mydata.dat to TOA5 format)
tob32.exe -b mydata.dat (converts mydata.dat to TOB1 format)
B.5 RTMS Format Description
The EBNF description of RTMS syntax is as follows:
Record = ( DataRecord | AckRecord ) CRLF.
DataRecord = StationName "," TableName " (" FieldSpecs ") VALUES (" FieldValues ")".
AckRecord = StationName "," TableName "," RecordNumber.
FieldSpecs = FieldName " " FieldType {"," FieldName " " FieldType}.
FieldValues = FieldValue {"," FieldValue}.
StationName = Label.
TableName = Label.
FieldName = Label.
Label = Letter { Letter | Digit }.
FieldType = ( "TIMESTAMP" | Decimal | "FLOAT" | "INTEGER" | VarChar ).
Decimal = "DECIMAL(" Digit [ Digit ] "," Digit [ Digit ] ")".
VarChar = "VARCHAR(" Digit { Digit } ")".
FieldValue = ( TimeStamp | RecordNumber | Number | String ).
TimeStamp = "‘" Year "-" Month "-" Day " " Hour ":" Minute ":" Second "‘".
Year = 4( Digit ).
Month = 2( Digit ).
Day = 2( Digit ).
Hour = 2( Digit ).
Minute = 2( Digit ).
Second = 2( Digit ) [ "." { Digit } ].
RecordNumber = 10{ Digit }.
Number = { Digit } [ "." ] { Digit }.
String = "‘" { Character } "‘".
A typical data record might look something like this:
Lgr,Sec15 (TMSTAMP TIMESTAMP,RECNBR DECIMAL(10,0),Battery_V
FLOAT,Temp FLOAT) VALUES ('1993-12-08 15:02:00',123456,13.5,72.123)
