What is the Bin File Processor?
The raw data collected from a monitor must undergo processing to
convert it into a useful form for analysis and reporting. When the
user collects the raw data through Profile to the primary computer,
the software automatically processes the data based on the LIF for
that monitor location and saves the data to the Profile database.
The primary computer represents the system used for data analysis
and reporting activities.
Collecting the data using another system may introduce possible
errors during data processing. This potential exists because a
different computer may not contain the most current configuration
(LIF) containing the proper parameters for the location.
The Bin File Processor tool is specifically designed for processing
raw (binary) data files collected using a computer other than the
primary system and/or a software package other than Profile. It
also ensures processed data is saved to the Profile database for
future analysis and reporting.
Note: This procedure does not apply to Accusonic 7510
data. Data from this monitor does not require processing.
When to Use the Bin File Processor
Use the Bin File Processor tool during the Data Retrieval phase of
the project. Refer to Introduction, Chapter 1, for more information.
