When Split is run, the resulting data file will look
similar to Table 3.3-3. Each line of data
represents one test. Notice that blanks were
inserted if the data set (conditional array) did
not exist.
3.3.3.2 Trigger on Stop Condition (F Option)
Output of Time Series
The Trigger on Stop Condition, or F option,
changes the function of the Stop Condition
when one or more Time Series functions
(Section 3.3.5.2) are contained in the Select
field. When a Stop Condition is met, the time
series data is calculated and written to the
output file. However, instead of stopping at this
point, processing resumes and time series data
is output the next time the Stop Condition is
met. This continues until the end of file or until
the user stops Split manually.
The Trigger on Stop Condition is enabled by
clicking Other… on the Output Tab and
checking the box next to the Trigger on Stop
Condition field. When the Trigger on Stop
Condition is enabled, the function affects all files
being processed that have a Stop Condition
specified. If multiple files are being processed
but it is desired that the function affect one or
morebut not allof the files, the F option is
used in the Stop Condition field of the files that
you want processed using the function. The
syntax for the F option is: F,e
i
[val
i
].
A typical application for the Trigger on Stop
Condition is to reduce days of hourly data into
daily summaries. A logical element to use for
the Stop Condition is time (hrmn). Assuming the
third element of the hourly Output Array is hrmn,
and midnight is output as 0, the Stop Condition
is entered as 3[0] (or F,3[0] if the F option is
used). The Time Series processing is
performed over a day defined by midnight to
midnight.
If only hourly Output Arrays were contained in
the Input File, the Copy line could be left blank.
If other Output Arrays are present which need
not be included in the Time Series processing,
a logical Copy condition would be the Output
Array ID of the hourly output.
The Trigger on Stop Condition functions the
same for multiple Input files as it does for a
single Input File. If the option is enabled on
several Input Files, and the Stop Conditions do
not occur at the same point in each file, when a
file's Stop Condition is met, its time series data
are output and blanks are output for data
selected from the other Input Files.
Say, for example, that you were interested in
the average value of the first data point
(element 2) for each test, in the data set listed
in Table 3.3-4. The Input File template would
look like that shown in Table 3.3-5.
TABLE 3.3-5. Input File Entries to Process
the First Data Point for each Test
First Input File = DATA_1.DAT:1
Stop Condition = F,1[200]
Select = AVG(2)
