8.2 Split

8.2.1 Functional Overview

Split is a tool to analyze data collected from Campbell Scientific dataloggers.

Its name comes from its function of splitting out specific data from a larger

data file. Originally, Split could only process mixed-array files, and it was

used to “split” the different arrays – typically different time intervals – of a file

into separate files (e.g., for hourly versus daily data).
