Section 10. Utilities

Output files generated by Split can be Field Formatted (default), Comma
Separated ASCII, or Printable ASCII. Split can also create reports in ASCII as
well as html formats, or send them directly to a printer.

Split lends itself to experimentation. The processed data are displayed on the
screen, giving immediate feedback as to the effect of changes or new entries to
the parameter file. Split does not modify the original Input File.

10.3.2 Getting Started

The most common use of Split is to separate array data collected on a
particular interval from a data file containing data output at several different
intervals.

In the following example, hourly data are split from a data set that contains 15
minute, hourly and daily data. The data was collected from BirchCreek, a
CR10X datalogger. The CR10X was loaded with a program created by Edlog
named Birch.dld.

The 15 minute data, array 99, the hourly data, array 60, and the daily data,
array 24, are intermixed in the data file.

When Edlog compiled Birch.dld, it also created the Final Storage Label file,
Birch.fsl that lists the final storage locations for each data element.
