Section 10. Utilities

data was output from arrays 100 and 102. During the third test, data was
output from arrays 100 and 101.

To process these files using the C option, the parameter file would be set up as
follows (assuming the name of our data file is Data_1.DAT):

First Input File = Data_1.DAT:1
Stop condition = C,1[200]
Copy = 1[100]
Select = 1,2,3,4

Second Input File = Data_1.DAT:2
Stop condition = C,1[200]
Copy = 1[101]
Select = 1,2,3

Third Input File = Data_1.DAT:3
Stop condition = C,1[200]
Copy = 1[102]
Select = 1,2,3,4,5

Fourth ("end of test") Input File = Data_1.DAT:4
Stop condition = C,1[200]
Copy = 1[200]
Select = (leave blank)

The :(number) after the data file name is inserted automatically
by Split.

NOTE

TABLE 10.3-3. Processed Data File Using Option C

100 12.1 10 32.6 101 92.7 67.7 102 56.1 48.7 98 220.1
100 12.5 9.89 30.1

102 56.2 50 100.5 210.6

100 13.1 10.1 33.1 101 94.1 69


When Split is run, the resulting data file will look similar to Table 10.3-3.
Each line of data represents one test. Notice that blanks were inserted if the
data set (conditional array) did not exist.

10.3.3.1.4.2 Trigger on Stop Condition (F Option) Output of Time Series

The Trigger on Stop Condition, or F option, changes the function of the Stop
Condition when one or more Time Series functions (Section 10.3.3.1.11) are
contained in the Select field. When a Stop Condition is met, the time series
data is calculated and written to the output file. However, instead of stopping
at this point, processing resumes and time series data is output the next time
the Stop Condition is met. This continues until the end of file or until the user
stops Split manually.

The Trigger on Stop Condition is enabled by clicking Other… on the Output
Tab and checking the box next to the Trigger on Stop Condition field. When
the Trigger on Stop Condition is enabled, the function affects all files being
