Setting Historical Data Parameters
Date/Time Format The buttons in this section let you specify how you
want the date/time data to appear in the ASCII
output file. If you select Separate , the time and
date are split into two fields, one for date and one
for time. If you select Combined , the time and
date (separated by a space) are represented in one
field. If you select Time Ticks , the time and date
are represented in UNIX time ticks in one field.
Data and Schema The buttons in this section let you specify whether
to combine ASCII data and schema files either into
one file or separate files.
If you select Combined , the data and schema files
are stored in the same file with the schema first.
If you select Separate , schema files will have the
same names as the ASCII data files along with the
.sch extension appended to them.
See Appendix A for more information on ASCII
data files and schema format.
String Format The buttons in this section let you specify whether
or not to enclose character data fields in the ASCII
output file in double quotation marks.
Handle Format The buttons in this section let you specify whether
to represent handles (model handles, attribute
IDs, etc.) in either hexadecimal or decimal
notation in the ASCII output file.
After you have made your selections in the ASCII Format Options dialog box,
click the OK button to establish your specifications.
