SECTION 3. REPORT: SPLIT
3-12 PC208W, Version 3.0, Instruction Manual
3.3.4 COPY
After the Start Condition is satisfied, and before
the Stop Condition is met, the Copy condition
must be satisfied before any data will be
processed according to Select line instructions
(Section 3.3.1.4). If the Copy condition is left
blank, all arrays are processed between the
Start and Stop values. Syntax for the Copy
condition is similar to the Start and Stop values
mentioned above. Logical "and" and "or"
statements (see Section 3.3.2) can be used
when specifying the Copy condition.
For example, referring to Table 3.3-1, if only
those hours during day 189 when the
temperature was above 90 and the soil
temperature was below 62 is desired, or, during
day 189 when the average wind speed was
below 21 while the wind direction was between
255 to 265 is desired, the Copy condition would
be:
1[189]and4[90..150]and5[0..61.99]or1[189]and6
[0..20.99]and[255..265]
Only Output Arrays with hours 1300 and 1500,
Table 3.3-1, conform to the above Copy
conditions.
To use the time synchronize function, time
element(s) must be specified in the Start
Condition (Section 3.3.1.1). The user specifies
a time interval in the Copy condition. For
instance, if the original data had 15 minute
outputs and you only want hourly outputs, then
an interval of 60 minutes must be specified
following the element number. This is entered
as (assuming hrmn is element number 3)
“3[60]”. If time synchronization is specified in
the Start Condition, SPLIT looks for the interval
in a time element in the Copy condition. Only
one time interval is specified. This interval is
the unit of time to synchronize each file.
The interval can be given tolerance limits by
following the interval with a comma and the
tolerance. For example, if 3 is the hrmn
element, and the time interval is 60 minutes +2
minutes, the syntax is 3[60,2].
If the time synchronize function is enabled, and
data are missing at one or more of the time
intervals specified, then a blank (or the
comment entered in the “Replace bad data
with” field) is output to the Output File.
3.3.5 SELECT
The Select line specifies which elements of an
Output Array are selected for processing and/or
output to the specified Output File. The Select
line becomes operable only after the Start
Condition and Copy condition are met, and
before the Stop Condition is satisfied. If the
Select line is left blank, all output arrays
meeting the Start Condition and Copy
conditions are output to the Output File. Up to
255 characters can be entered on one Select
line. If this is a limitation, open the Input Data
file twice (use the EDIT | ADD DATA FILE
menu) and use the Select line in the second
Input File template to define the additional
operations.
