Adding Icons
Two icons are available on the Icon Toolbar for use in construction
of the Post-Processing Net; a Math icon and a File icon.
M ATH I CON
The Math icon provides algebraic processing of data as it passes
from input to output. In Figure 8... -1, the Math icon is providing
a differential temperature calculation and generating a third data
channel, Delta-T, which is then stored to the destination file.
Double-click on the icon to open its configuration dialog box. See
the Master Icon Listing in Appendix A for configuration details.
D ESTINATION F ILE I CON
The Destination File icon represents storage to file of all signals
connected to its inputs. Up to 36 inputs can be connected to the
File icon when it is used as an Excel file or 24 when used as an
ASCII file. Each time a User adds a connection, an additional
input terminal appears.
Double-clicking on the icon opens its Configuration dialog box.
With the dialog box, the destination file data format can be
specified as ASCII (*.TXT), OMP-MODL Download (*.HLD), or
Version 4.0 Excel spreadsheet (*.XLS) format. See the Master
Icon Listing in Appendix A for configuration details.
Multiple File icons can be connected in a net for simultaneous
storage of different signals and/or multiple file formats.
Connecting Icons
Icons are connected using the standard drag and drop connection
method as used for construction of HyperNet Program Nets. The
order of connections made to the Destination File icon determines
their sequence in the resulting file.
Unconnected Memory icons will not be processed nor included in the
Destination File.
Other Post-Processing Net Development Options
As in the development of a Program Net from within HyperNet,
various tools such as Grid, Snap, and Print Net options are available
from the Menu Bar.
Saving the Post-Processing Net
Upon completion of the Net, it can be saved for later use with the menu
selection File/Save Net As or with the Save Net button. The saved Post-
Processing Net can then be opened at a later time for conversion of
additional OMP-MODL Download files that have the same channel
configuration and filename.
An Example: Every day, a OMP-MODL is downloaded
and the data is run through the same Post-Processing
Net which converts the data to an Excel spreadsheet. A
Post-Processing Net could be constructed once and
saved with the filename CONVERT.PST.
