4. Extended options
The extended options tab-page allows you to specify your conversion preferences. Once
configured, the preferences are stored under “settings.xml” in the configuration directory of the
application. At startup the program will always start with the settings of the last session.
Figure 4: The extended options tab-page
Header
The “Write column header to 'header.txt'”-option (Figure 4 (1)) determines whether the names of
the data-columns are included in the created text file(s). When this option is checked the column-
names are NOT included in the resulting ASCII-files but a separate file ('header.txt') containing
the column-names will be created in the same directory. By default the column-names are
included in the created files.
Decimal digits
The “Decimal digits”-option (Figure 4 (2)) allows you to specify the number of decimal (fractional)
digits included in the created ASCII-data files for each source file-type. Per default two digits for
pos-files and four digits for amp-files are selected.
Decimal separator
The “Decimal separator” (Figure 4 (3)) defines the decimal separator (point ('.') or comma (',')).
The default-separator is a point ('.').
Line ending
The “Line ending”-option (Figure 4 (4)) specifies the control characters used as a line break in the
created ASCII-files. This can be of importance depending on the computer system you wish to
use for editing/viewing the created text files. The default line ending is set to 'LF' (line feed –
compatible with most non-windows-systems) whereas for further processing on windows-system
you would want to use the 'CRLF' (carriage return, line feed) option.
