Element 1 = Output Array ID# (115)
Element 2 = Julian day (189)
Element 3 = hour, minute
Element 4 = average temperature in deg. F
Element 5 = average soil temperature in deg. F
Element 6 = average wind speed in mph
Element 7 = wind direction in degrees
A maximum of 8 file names may be entered.
SPLIT assigns an extension of .DAT if no
extension is specified. Specify the drive or
directory preceding the filename if the file is not
on the default drive. If SPLIT does not find the
file, an error message is displayed.
Press the F1 key and SPLIT will display, at the
top of the screen, all files having a .DAT
extension name or any files with the extension
name specified by the user. If a drive or
directory is specified, followed by an asterisk,
SPLIT will display all files on the specified drive
or directory. An error message is removed
when another key is pressed. SPLIT will not
save or process a file if an error condition
exists.
Multiple files (8) may be operated on and
merged into one OUTPUT file by entering the
INPUT filenames separated by commas. For
example, to process two files named test.dat
and test1.dat the user would enter
'TEST.DAT,TEST1.DAT'. SPLIT will ask the
same questions for each file on all the
remaining parameters.
To merge different output arrays from the same
input file into one array, the user must enter the
input filename once for each different array.
CAUTION: For up to eight files to be
opened by SPLIT the user must execute the
CONFIG.SYS program on power up. To do
this a user must create a file named
CONFIG.SYS in the default drive and
directory. Contained in the CONFIG.SYS
file is 'FILES=16'. See the PC-DOS manual
for more information.
