Section 5. Split

Stop Offset

This number specifies the number of bytes from the beginning of the file
that Split should stop processing the data file.

In the following figure, Split will skip the first 256 bytes of data before
beginning and stop execution on byte 1024.

Number of Values in Each Burst

When processing a burst data file, enter the total number of values recorded for
each Burst (this is the number of burst scans multiplied by the number of
channels per scan). This number does not include the array ID or calibration
data.

To break the results into a column for each channel, enter the number of
channels for the Break Arrays value (Output File Tab, Other button).

Midnight is 2400 hours

When programming mixed-array dataloggers, the Real Time instruction (P77)
has two different options for the midnight time stamp: midnight = 2400 of the
day just ending or midnight = 0000 of the day just beginning.

When processing mixed-array data files using time synchronization, select this
check box if the time stamp is midnight at 2400 of the day just ending. This
will ensure that Split processes the data file correctly.
