Section 5. Split
Start Condition
2[-1]:3[50]:
Copy Condition
1[106]and3[60,10]
Where:
element 1 is the array ID
element 2 is the Julian day
element 3 is the hour/minute
The Start Condition directs Split to begin processing data when the time is one
day prior to the current PC time and when the hour/minute value is equal to 50.
The 1[106] in the Copy Condition specifies the array from which the data
should be copied. The 3[60,10] indicates that the interval for the time stamp is
60 minutes and designates a 10 minute time window on each side of the top of
the hour in which Split should look for the hour/minute data (10 minutes before
the hour, 10 minutes after the hour).
The second file’s Copy Condition should include only the array from which to
copy the data. No interval is necessary.
5.3.2 Output Files
To create an Output File, click the OUTPUT FILE tab. The file is created on
the default drive or directory unless the file name is preceded with an alternative
drive or directory. Use the Browse button to change directories.
Split will assign this file an extension of .PRN if an extension is not specified by
the user. Whenever an Output file name is entered, regardless of extension, an
Output file is created only when the RUN | GO menu option is selected.
If the file name you have selected already exists, you can use the “If File Exists
Then” drop-down list box to determine what action Split will take. By default,
each time a PAR file is run the existing output files (PRN, RPT, and HTM) are
overwritten (
Overwrite option). When Append is selected, the PRN file will
not be overwritten — the new data will be added to the end of the existing file.
However, the RPT and HTM files will be overwritten. If
Create New is
selected, Split will create all new files using the original file name and
appending an _0, _1, and so on to each subsequent run.
In Append mode, if an HTM or RPT file is needed with all the data, you will
need to run the PRN created by Split through the program a second time. If the
Output File name is left blank, Split does not write data to an Output File on
disk; rather, it will display the processed values on the screen if the Screen
Display box is checked. If Screen Display is not enabled, no data will be
displayed on the Split RUN screen.
The Output file name cannot be the same as the Input file
name. Split will display an error message if this condition
occurs. CAUTION
