Merging and Concatenating
LogView’s raw binary format can not be used by other programs; however, LogView can convert its data files into
popular file formats used by other display and analysis packages. The conversion can be performed automatically
during an upload, or manually after the upload using the Convert Binary Data utility (found under the Tools pull-
down menu).
In addition to providing for file format conversion, the Convert Binary Data utility also has the ability to merge
Rate files and to concatenate Trigger Block segments. Examples follow shortly.
• When merging Rate files, the utility takes the appropriate rate files and combines them into one file.
• When concatenating segments, the utility joins the appropriate segment files, making one continuous
Trigger Block file.
• When both Merge and Concatenate are enabled, Trigger blocks with multiple rates (that were uploaded in
segments) can all be consolidated into one file.
The Convert Binary Data utility lists all the raw binary files in the DATA directory. Select the desired file(s) and
click Convert to initiate the process. In this way, any Trigger Block, Segment, or Rate file can be individually
converted.
