Section 8. Working with Data Files on the PC

Stop Offset

This number specifies the number of bytes from the beginning of the file

that Split should stop processing the data file.

In the following figure, Split will skip the first 256 bytes of data before

beginning and stop execution on byte 1024.

Number of Values in Each Burst
When processing a burst data file, enter the total number of values recorded for

each Burst (this is the number of burst scans multiplied by the number of

channels per scan). This number does not include the array ID or calibration

data.

To break the results into a column for each channel, enter the number of

channels for the Break Arrays value (Output File Tab, Other button).

Midnight is 2400 hours
When programming mixed-array dataloggers, the Real Time instruction (P77)

has two different options for the midnight time stamp: midnight = 2400 of the

day just ending or midnight = 0000 of the day just beginning.

When processing mixed-array data files using time synchronization, select this

check box if the time stamp is midnight at 2400 of the day just ending. This

will ensure that Split processes the data file correctly.

Time Offset
This field specifies a time offset, in seconds, that should be applied to each

item on the Select line that uses the Date or Edate function to output a date.

The offset can be positive or negative. Each input file can have its own offset

(or no offset) for its Select line.
