Element 1 = Output Array ID# (115)
Element 2 = Julian day (189)
Element 3 = hour, minute
Element 4 = average temperature in deg. F
Element 5 = average soil temperature in deg. F
Element 6 = average wind speed in mph
Element 7 = wind direction in degrees
A maximum of eight input files may be opened
by SPLIT. Additional input files are opened with
the EDIT | ADD DATA FILE menu option.
SPLIT defaults to a file extension of .DAT if no
extension is specified. If the Input File does not
exist, an error message is displayed when RUN
| GO is selected from the menu options.
For instance, to process two files named
TEST.DAT and TEST_1.DAT the user would
select TEST.DAT and TEST_1.DAT as Input
Files. Two blank templates will be generated.
To change from one template to the other, click
on the appropriate tab on the bottom of the
screen. Both templates must be completed
before SPLIT will process the data. To merge
different output arrays from the same input file
into one array, open the data file once for each
different array.
Example 1
Each time SPLIT runs a parameter file, it keeps
track of the number of bytes it read from the
input file and saves this information in the
parameter file. SPLIT can then start where it
last left off. This is done by clicking on the
Offsets button and selecting the Last Count
option (see Example 1). This feature may be
used to process only the new data from a file in
which new data are being appended periodically
to the data file using the scheduled data
collection option of PC208W.
