Convention:
CNVT_FIX station_name trunk_ID [/g] [/c] [/v] [filename.csv] [filename.gdb]
Mandatory Parameters:
station_name The NT Network name of the computer running FIX32
trunk_ID The P2 trunk number associated with the points in the CSV file being converted
Switch Parameters (select one):
/g Create CSV spreadsheet file from FIX32 GDB import file
/c Create FIX32 GDB import file from CSV spreadsheet file
/v Verify CSV spreadsheet file
Optional Parameters:
filename.csv Override default CSV file name (dbase.csv)
filename.gdb Override default GDB file name (dbase.gdb)
Examples:
• CNVT_FIX NODE1 0 /g
This creates a CSV file (dbase.csv) from a FIX32 import file (dbase.gdb). The station
name is “NODE1” and the points reside on trunk 0.
• CNVT_FIX NODE1 0 /c
This creates a FIX32 GDB import file (dbase.gdb) from a CSV file (dbase.csv).
• CNVT_FIX NODE1 0 /v
This verifies a CSV file (dbase.csv) only. It does not create a GDB file.
• CNVT_FIX NODE1 0 /v MyNewDB.csv
This verifies CSV file MyNewDB.csv only. It does not create a FIX32 GDB file.
Converting from FIX32 GDB to CSV
This option creates a CSV file from a FIX32 GDB import file. Do the following to perform the
conversion:
CAUTION:
Any dbase.csv file already present in this directory will be overwritten! Back up any
files to be saved before executing CNVT_FIX.EXE.
In a directory that includes both the CNVT_FIX.EXE program and the FIX32 import file
dbase.gdb, run the CNVT_FIX program with the /g command line switch.
