SECTION 3. REPORT: SPLIT
3-10 PC208W, Version 3.0, Instruction Manual
The unconditional array data (the stop
condition) would be output to a unique array
when the engine is turned off. By processing the
data with Split using the C option, the data
collected during each test could be merged on
to one line, with blanks inserted if a set of data
didn't exist (e.g., if the engine temperature
never exceeded the defined limit).
To use the C option, the Parameter file should
be set up as follows:
• An Input File must be set up for each array
ID in the test. The first Input File is
configured on the Input File tab that
appears when you open Split. Additional
Input Files are added by choosing Edit | Add
Data File from the Split menu. The same
data file will be used as the Input File for
each array.
• Type in the array ID in the Copy field of the
Input File tab for each array. The array ID is
the first element of a data file, so the line
should read 1[
123 ], where 123 is the actual
array ID you want to process.
• In the Select field, type in the number for
each element (data value) you want to be
output in the report.
• In the Stop Condition field, type in a "C,"
followed by the ID of your stop condition
array. If your "end of test" array was array
ID 200, the Stop Condition field would read:
C,1[200]. This should be typed into the Stop
Condition fields of each array, including the
"end of test" array.
Set up the Output File as you would for any Split
process. If you are including column headings,
the arrays and elements will appear in the order
they are listed on the Input File tabs. That is, the
first column will be Input File number 1, element
number 1; the next column is Input File number
1, element number 2… Input File number 2,
element number 1 follows in the column
immediately after the last element of Input File
number 1.
Consider Table 3.3-2 below:

Data from arrays
output during the
first test.
Second test.
Third test.
This table contains four different output arrays:
100, 101, 102, and 200. During the first test,
data was output from all three conditional arrays
(100, 101, and 102), with 200 signaling the end
of the test. During the second test, data was
output from arrays 100 and 102. During the third
test, data was output from arrays 100 and 101.
To process these files using the C option, the
parameter file would be set up as follows
(assuming the name of our data file is
Data_1.DAT):
First Input File = Data_1.DAT:1
Stop condition = C,1[200]
Copy = 1[100]
Select = 1,2,3,4
Second Input File = Data_1.DAT:2
Stop condition = C,1[200]
Copy = 1[101]
Select = 1,2,3
Third Input File = Data_1.DAT:3
Stop condition = C,1[200]
Copy = 1[102]
Select = 1,2,3,4,5
Fourth ("end of test") Input File = Data_1.DAT:4
Stop condition = C,1[200]
Copy = 1[200]
Select = (leave blank)
NOTE: The
:(number) after the data file
name is inserted automatically by Split.
